Difference Between Mass and Weight

Mass is a quantity that gives an idea about how much matter is present in an object. It is a quantitative measure of inertia.  And acceleration is inversely proportional to inertia.

The relation between force and mass is given by:

                 F = ma or m = F/a

The relation between density, mass, and volume is given by:

                 𝛒 = m/V or m = 𝛒V

The relation between Kinetic energy, mass, and velocity is given by:

                 K = ½ mv2 or m = 2K/v2

The relation between Potential energy, mass, the acceleration due to gravity and height is given by:

                 P = mgh or m = P/gh

The well known Einstein’s mass-energy relation that provides mass-energy formula is,

                   m = E / c2

Where, E = energy, m = mass, c = speed of light

The relation between mass(m), velocity(v) and momentum(p) is given by:

                    p = mv or m = p/v
