... Now, stretch the spring as shown, moving the mass to x = A. If the mass is then released from rest, it will oscillate (in the absence of friction) forever between x = ± A. When the spring is stretched an amount x, it feels a restoring force F = -kx that tries to return the system to its equilibrium ...

Mass vs. Weight Activity
... because it is determined by the amount of gravity being exerted on an object. One of the factors that affect gravity is mass. For example, the Earth has a greater mass than the Moon and therefore exerts a stronger gravitational pull. That is why the weight of an object on the moon is less than its w ...
