Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between mass and weight?
- Mass (kg) is a measure of the amount of matter — it doesn't change with location. Weight (N) is the gravitational force on that mass, which varies by planet.
- Can acceleration be negative?
- Yes — a negative value means deceleration (the force opposes motion).
