   Sep 28, 2024 · Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, measured in newtons (N), and varies depending on the gravitational field strength. The relationship between mass and weight can be expressed mathematically: Weight (N) = Mass (kg) x Gravitational Field Strength (N/kg).

   Oct 17, 2024 · Weight, gravitational force of attraction on an object, caused by the presence of a massive second object, such as the Earth or Moon. 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.

   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.

   Weight is the force of an object due to gravity, represented by the equation w=mg. In free fall, weight is the same as Fg (force due to gravity). The weight of an object depends on gravity, which is dependent on location.

   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.

   Why is weight a product of mass?

   • Because of all the mass in the universe, each point of space has a property called the gravitational field at that point, numerically equal to the acceleration of gravity at that point. Alternatively, weight is the product of an object’s mass and either the gravitational field or the acceleration of gravity at the point where the object is located.

   Why is body weight a force of attraction?

   • In fact, our body weight is the force of attraction of the entire Earth on us with a mass of \ (6 imes 10^ {24} \, kg\). Recall that the acceleration due to gravity \ (g\) is about \ (9.80 \, m/s^2\) on Earth. We can now determine why this is so. The weight of an object mg is the gravitational force between it and Earth.

   How did physics understand the force of gravity?

   • So, let’s think a little bit about the history of physics’ understanding of the force of gravity. The first real description of the force of gravity comes from Isaac Newton in 1687. Isaac Newton was the first person to think about the fact that the same force that causes an apple to fall from a tree keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.

   Why is weight a consequence of the universal law of gravitation?

   • 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.
