Metric Mass • Mass: how much matter or stuff is in an object. • Many people think mass and weight are the same but they are not. • Your weight is how strong gravity is pulling on it. • Metric Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and the object's ability to resist acceleration. • Many people think weight is the same everywhere most likely because we all live on the surface of the planet Earth! • An object's mass doesn't change but its weight can change according to the gravitational pull. • Your weight is less on the moon • Grams • Kilograms • Tonnes • These three units are the most common measurements of mass in the metric system. • The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram • A gram, which is written with a g, weighs about the same as a paper clip. • 1 pound is equal to 453.5 grams • 1000 grams equal a kilogram • 1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. • Think of a textbook • 1000 kilograms equals a tonne which also called a metric ton • 1 tonne = 2204 pounds • An average car has a mass of about 2 tonnes • You may enjoy .... • • Measuring Temperature
