4.    Mass, Weight and Density

 

Content

•      Mass and weight

 

•      Gravitational field and field strength

 

•          Density Learning Outcomes  Candidates should be able to:

(a)   state that mass is a measure of the amount of substance in a body

 

(b)   state that mass of a body resists a change in the state of rest or motion of the body (inertia)

 

(c)   state that a gravitational field is a region in which a mass experiences a force due to gravitational attraction

 

(d)   define gravitational field strength, g, as gravitational force per unit mass

 

(e)   recall and apply the relationship weight = mass × gravitational field strength to new situations or to solve related problems

 

(f)    distinguish between mass and weight

 

(g)   recall and apply the relationship density = mass / volume to new situations or to solve related problems
