SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the distinction between mass and weight, emphasizing that mass is a scalar quantity that remains constant, while weight is a force that varies with gravitational acceleration. The correct formula for calculating mass from weight is highlighted, specifically using the equation mass = weight / acceleration due to gravity. A critical error identified in the original answer is the incorrect use of units, where weight should be expressed in Newtons rather than kilograms. The accurate calculation should be presented as 80 Newtons divided by 9.8 meters per second squared, resulting in a mass of 8.16 kilograms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, specifically mass and weight
  • Familiarity with units of measurement in physics, such as Newtons and kilograms
  • Knowledge of gravitational acceleration, particularly Earth's gravitational constant (9.8 m/s²)
  • Ability to perform unit conversions and calculations involving forces
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the relationship between mass and weight in different gravitational fields
  • Learn about dimensional analysis to ensure unit consistency in calculations
  • Explore the concept of force in physics, including Newton's laws of motion
  • Investigate common misconceptions in physics related to mass and weight
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching fundamental concepts, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of mass and weight in scientific contexts.

Everything seems to make sense to me, but I know the answer is wrong..

"Actually, mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is how much of something there is - which does not change throughout the universe (mass = density * volume). Weight is a force, which is constantly changing throughout the universe depending on the acceleration of gravity (weight = mass * acceleration of gravity).

You can work out a persons mass simple by dividing their weight by 9.806 (Earth's acceleration of gravity).

For example, if your weight = 80 kilograms, then your mass would be 8.15 kilograms. Because -- 80 kilograms / 9.806 = 8.15 kilograms"

You are absolutely right about all the descriptions. Why do you say you are wrong??

The only errors I see is a possible rounding error, and a unit error.

you said "weight = 80 kilograms" this is nonsensical. You yourself said weight is a force (and it is) so you would need "weight = 80 Newtons" or some other unit of force.
Then when you divide by acceleration you would have "8.16 kilograms"
Always put correct units on all numbers in calculations, you forgot units on your acceleration as well.

It should look like:
80 Newtons / 9.8 meters per second squared = 8.16 kilograms.
