Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass and weight are related in that mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass. The conversion factor between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lbs) is that 1 kg is approximately equal to 2.2 lbs. This conversion is relevant when comparing mass (in kilograms) to its weight on Earth (in pounds), as both A and B are unit conversions that do not directly relate mass to weight, and D is incorrect.
