What is mass?
Hey guys!
For maths this term, Habitat 17 have been focusing on geometry and measurement. We had some choices that we could choose from to work on. I chose mass. I decided to learn a bit more about mass. Here are some things about mass:
- An object on earth weighs 5 kg. If you put it on the moon, it would weigh less on the moon but still have the same mass.
-If you use Newtonian physics, mass is the amount of material in the object. Newtonian physics deals with specificity.
-Inertia is how easy an object can stop and start. Newton's 1st law says that an object that is easy to move has low inertia and an object that is harder to move has high inertia.
- Einstein quite famously said: E=mc^2, which means Energy equals mass into the speed of light squared.
- MASS IS NOT THE SAME AS WEIGHT!!!!!
Hope you liked it!
