    This document describes an activity investigating the relationship between mass and weight. Students measured the mass in grams and kilograms and the corresponding weight in newtons of hanging masses from 0 to 1000 grams. A graph of weight versus mass showed a linear relationship with a slope of 9.8 newtons, representing the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.

    Summing Up Answers:

    1. 9.8 newtons
    2. The line of the moon is shallower than the Earths line.
    3. Jupiter line would have been steeper. Jupiter has more mass than Earth, therefore it has greater
    gravity.
