9702Momentum and Newton’s laws of motion

What is meant by the mass and by the weight of an object on the Earth?

  1. Amass: its momentum divided by its velocity; weight: the work done in lifting it one metre
  2. Bmass: the gravitational force on it; weight: the property that resists its acceleration
  3. Cmass: the pull of the Earth on it; weight: its mass divided by the acceleration of free fall
  4. Dmass: the property that resists its acceleration; weight: the pull of the Earth on it
