Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is weight?
A
the amount of matter in an object
B
the distance between one point to another
C
how fast something travels
D
the amount of gravity pulling on the mass of an object
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object’s mass and the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. The formula for calculating weight is F = m × 9.8 m/s2, where F is the object’s weight in Newtons (N) and m is the object’s mass in kilograms.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weight is another word for the force of gravity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth’s gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That’s what gives you weight.
