What is the difference between Mass and Weight?

Why do we use mass instead of weight?

Mass is a measure of how much force it will take to change that path. ... Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of downwards force that gravity exerts on an object. This force increases with the object's mass: the more inertia it has, the harder gravity pulls.

In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.

Answer: it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.explanation:   we have equation of motion ,where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.average velocity = displacement/ time taken.average velocity = 10.69 miles/hr = 10.69*1.6*1000/(60*60) = 4.75 m/s4.75 = s/ts = 4. 1we also have acceleration = 2.18 m/s², initial velocity = 0 m/sso it will take   4.36 seconds to reach her average velocity 10.69 miles/hour.

The answer should be a.
