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 Multilingual?
