Mass and weight past paper questions

O Level Physics 5054 · Mass and weight. 1 State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer 2 State that the mass of an object resists change from its state of rest or motion (inertia) 3 Know that weights, and therefore masses, may be compared using a beam balance or equal-arm balance 4 Describe how to determine mass using an electronic balance 5 Describe how to measure weight using a force meter 6 Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation gravitational field strength = weight mass g = W m and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall 7 State that a gravitational field is a region in which a mass experiences a force due to gravitational attraction
