Mass vs. Weight Video Tutorial

Additional and Related Learning Tools

Minds On Physics App #2, Newton's Laws Module, Mission NL5
Minds On Physics isn't for the weak. But those who are passionate about their studies in Physics and who have the patience and willingness to adjust their thinking will benefit greatly from this rigorous app. Carefully-crafted questions on specific topics, combined with an in-depth question specific tutorial make the app a great choice for those who wish to master physics. Try Mission NL5 as a follow-up to this video.

Physics Interactives:Your Weight on Other Planets
Weight varies with location. Mass is independent of location. Explore this concept more with our Your Weight on Other Planets simulation.

Physics Interactives:The Value of g
So we've learned that g is 9.8 N/kg on Earth. Now learn the rest of the story with this fun little map that allows you to view the value of g at approximately 50 locations about the Earth.

You need a written reference? We have one. It's called The Physics Classroom Tutorial and it has a long record of helping learners of Physics.

Teacher Resources

Curriculum Corner: Newton's Laws Chapter
The Curriculum Corner provides classroom-ready Think Sheets that fuel great in-class discussions. The think sheets on Mass and Weight and The Elephant and the Feather might be great follow-ups to this video tutorial.
