THE fall in the revenue accruable to state governments in Nigeria, occasioned by the falling crude oil price, has raised questions about the capacity of state governments at handling the multiplier effects of the fall.
Mass and weight Remember that mass is measured in kilograms, kg, and weight is measured in newtons, N. The mass of an object stays the same wherever it is, but its weight can change. This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon.
Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass. Mass is a measure of an object's inertia. It is proportional to weight: the more mass an object has, the more weight it has.However, mass is not the same as weight.Weight is a force created by the action of gravity on a substance while mass is a measure of an object's resistance to change in motion.atter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass.
