AP Physics 1
Next Video
Three major differences between weight and mass are discussed and three media examples of weight in kilograms are presented (and you should know that weight is NOT in kilograms).

Content Times:
0:18 Base SI dimensions for weight and mass
1:25 NASA: weight in kilograms
1:38 Michio Kaku: weight in kilograms
1:52 Derek Muller of Veritasium: weight in kilograms
2:30 Weight is a vector and mass is a scalar
2:53 Weight is extrinsic and mass is intrinsic
3:52 Comparing weight and mass on the Earth and the moon
4:45 Space elevators

Weight in kilograms in the media:
  • NASA: What Was the Saturn V?
  • The Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
  • Thank you Derek Muller of Veritasium for letting me use 10 seconds of one of your videos.  I hope you agree that, as promised, I did not deride you.

  • Earth - you won’t find the permissions for that picture here, because I took that picture and so I OWN IT!!! Yep, i took that picture. [Did you really read this far? wow.]  It’s a picture of Science on a Sphere at The Detroit Zoo.
