Study Notes

Mass and Weight

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change, regardless of location.
Weight, on the other hand, measures the force of gravity acting on an object and can change depending on the gravitational field.

Weight on the Moon

Astronauts weigh less on the moon than on Earth because the moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth.

Physical Properties of a Substance

Examples of physical properties of a substance include mass, weight, volume, density, and melting point.
These properties can be observed and measured without changing the composition of the substance.

Physical Property of an Object

An example of a physical property of an object is its color, which can be observed and measured without changing the composition of the object.

Physical Property of Matter

Mass is a physical property of matter, as it is a characteristic of the amount of matter in an object and can be measured.
