For the people who has nothing for homework. what is the difference between weight and mass? please give a two sentences giving specific details which tells, how to figure it out. And how you got your answer!

:-)

mass is the amount of material in something,weight is the effect of gravity on it, that is, how much pull gravity exerts on a mass.

Forcegravity=mass*Gravity field strength
on Earth, at the surface of Earth, the Gravity field strength is 9.8N/kg

If you are interested to work this thru, a N/kg is the same as m/s^2, and of course 9.8m/s^2 is the acceleration of a falling object at Earth's surface.
