IGCSE Physics Notes Mass and Weight 

CORE:

  • State that mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest relative to the observer
  •  State that weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass
  •  Define gravitational field strength as force per unit mass; recall and use the equation g = W m and know that this is equivalent to the acceleration of free fall
  • Know that weights (and masses) may be compared using a balance

EXTENDED:

  • Describe, and use the concept of, weight as the effect of a gravitational field on a mass
