Question

What do we call the gravitational force between the earth and an object?

Answer 1

●Gravitational force between the Earth and an object is known as Earth's gravity or weight of the object.   •••Note on weight of an object:   ●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.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Gravitational force between the earth and an object is called weight of the object.

● Extra information -

Gravitational force between earth(M) and object(m) is given by -

F = GMm/r²

F = m × (GM/r²)

F = mg

This mg is called weight of the object.

# For example -

2 kg object will have the weight of 2g = 2×9.8 = 19.6 N.

Hope this helps you...
