What is the difference between mass and weight? If a person weighs 168 lb on Earth, about how much would the person weigh on the moon?
The mass unit associated with density is usually grams. If the volume (in mL or cm³) is multiplied by the density (g/mL or g/cm³) the volume units will cancel
out, leaving only the mass units. Keep in mind that the volume and density must use the same volume unit for the cancellation.
If a large marshmallow has a volume of 2.00 in³ and density of 0.242 g/cm³, how much would it weigh in grams? 1 in3
16.39 cm³.
Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.

Mass and weight are related via the equation W=mg on Earth. Mass is how much matter an object has and weight is the measure of mass under a gravitational field (on Earth g =9.80m/s2). Suppose you go to an unknown planet-X where the gravitational field of the planet is g’= 23.15m/s2. Will a metal have a higher, lower, or the same density on planet-X when compared to Earth. Assume the volume of the metal doesn’t change.
