     • Weight is a consequence of the universal law of gravitation: any two objects, because of their masses, attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

   What is the weight force of gravity?

   • We will also occasionally speak of this force of gravity as the weight force. This is just equivalent terminology, two different names for the same thing. The weight force is often indicated by a . Again, it’s a vector, so again, it would be, the weight force would be the mass of the object times , where this is still the 9.8 newtons per kilogram.

   Does weight depend on gravitational force?

   • Watch the video of physicist Jon Chase explaining that the mass of an object is constant but its weight depends on the gravitational force. As with most quantities in science you need to know how you can find the mass and weight of objects. A piece of scientific equipment used to measure mass.

   How does gravity affect weight?

   • Remember, even if you weigh less because of a change in gravity’s force on your body, your body’s mass is still the same. As your body grows, you will have more mass, which also means you will weigh more. That’s because when you’re on the earth, the amount of gravity that pulls on you stays the same. So when your mass changes, so does your weight!

   Is weight a force or a density?

   • Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton. Density is mass/volume. The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton.

   What is the relationship between mass and weight?

   • Again, Fg is the gravitational force, or weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s 2. Now the relationship between mass and weight becomes clear: weight is a force, whereas mass is how much “stuff” there is. The weight and the mass are related by a factor of g, but are not the same.

   What is the force of gravity acting on a mass called?

   • We have a special name for the force of gravity acting on a mass; we call it the weight of the object. Substituting the acceleration due to gravity into Newton’s second law, we get an expression for the force of gravity on Earth, or the weight of an object:

   The units of force are newtons, the units of mass are kilograms, and therefore the units of the gravitational field must be newtons over kilograms, or people will say it newtons per kilogram. So, let’s review the fundamental features of this gravitational field.

   Acceleration due to gravity g varies slightly over the surface of Earth, so the weight of an object depends on its location and is not an intrinsic property of the object. Weight varies dramatically if we leave Earth’s surface. On the Moon, for example, acceleration due to gravity is only 1.67 m/s 2. A 1.0-kg mass thus has a weight of 9.8 N ...

   Weight is a measure of how much gravity pulls on a mass or object. On the moon, there is less gravity pulling on objects, so they weigh less. For example, a rock that weighs one pound while on Earth will weigh less than that if it is taken to the moon.
