Which statement accurately describes the difference between mass and weight in a biomechanical context?

Weight is constant regardless of location, while mass varies with gravitational forces.

Mass is a scalar quantity measured in kilograms, while weight is a vector quantity influenced by gravity. (correct)

Weight is the amount of matter in an object, while mass is the force exerted by gravity on that object.

Mass is the gravitational force acting on an object, while weight is the object's resistance to acceleration.

In the context of torque and moment arms, what effect does increasing the distance from the joint to the point of force application have?

It increases the potential for joint injury due to excessive torque.

It decreases the torque produced by the applied force.

It increases the torque produced by the applied force. (correct)
