Hint
2.
Why can an object's weight vary with location but its mass cannot?
a.
Determinations of mass account for varying gravitational pulls in different locations.
b.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object; weight is not.
c.
Systems of measurement vary with location.
d.
Weight is a measure of both mass and the effect of Earth's gravitational pull on the matter. Mass measures only the amount of matter.
