Question

10 Lines information related to weight.​

Answer 1

Answer:

define weight as a vector quantity, the gravitational force acting on the object. Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the magnitude of the gravitational force. Yet others define it as the magnitude of the reaction force exerted on a body by mechanisms that counteract the effects of gravity: the weight is the quantity that is measured by, for example, a spring scale. Thus, in a state of free fall, the weight would be zero. In this sense of weight, terrestrial objects can be weightless: ignoring air resistance, the famous apple falling from the tree, on its way to meet the ground near Isaac Newton, would be weightless.

Answer 2

Weight = mass X acceleration

Explanation:

1. Weight is different from mass. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object.
2. The mass of an object will never change, but the weight of an item can change based on its location.
3. Weight of an object will vary according to where in the universe the object is.
4. Weight depends upon which planet is exerting the force and the distance the object is from the planet.
5. Weight, being equivalent to the force of gravity, is dependent upon the value of g - the gravitational field strength.
6. Weight is something that causes a tension in our muscles as they are called on to support our body.
7. Weight is described as a force. It is measured in Newtons.
8. Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
9. Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
10. Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.
