The mass of an object is the measure of how much how much substance is in that objectsubstance is in that object.
Every physical object has mass: you do, the Earth does, and the Sun does.
Mass is measured in
kilogramskilograms.

The mass of an object will not change as you move it from place to place.

Weight Weight is a forceforce--the force with which gravitygravity "pulls" on an object's mass.
The Earth is bigger than the Moon therefore it applies a bigger pull on objects.EarthEarth MoonMoon
An object's An object's weightweight depends upon its location .depends upon its location .
Weight = 10 Weight = 10 NN
Weight = 1.6 Weight = 1.6 NN
Weight is calculated by multiplying the massmass by the force due to gravityforce due to gravity.
Weight = m x gWeight = m x g

Oil is added to a car engine to lubricate the parts.
There is more friction if the two surfaces are forced against each other.
Friction is a good thing:Friction is a good thing:
Just think of walking on a wet marble floor or an icy pavement with new leather soled shoes: you might slip over!
Worse still, if the tyres on your car are worn out and the road is wet and slippery, you will probably skid the car and have an accident.

Friction is also very important for your car's brakescar's brakes to work properly.
When you put you foot on the brake pedal, some rough padsrough pads are squeezed tight against the brake discs.
This friction slows the car friction slows the car downdown. If oil gets on the discs, the brakes will not work so well.
Both your shoes and the car's tyres need good gripgood grip so their surfaces are rough.

An object that is changing its velocity is acceleratingaccelerating.
Something that slows down or speeds up, is said to accelerateaccelerate.
All accelerations are caused by forcesforces.
A force is basically a pushpush or a pullpull on an object.
Something that is speeding up has a positive positive acceleration, acceleration, and something that slowing down (decelerating) has a negative negative acceleration. acceleration.

Answer:
The bigger the bigger the unbalanced forceunbalanced force the bigger the acceleration.bigger the acceleration. The bigger the massbigger the mass, the smaller the smaller the accelerationacceleration.
When the mass is kept When the mass is kept constant the acceleration is constant the acceleration is directly proportional to the directly proportional to the force applied.force applied.
