Which property of matter is a measure of the gravitational force?
A
weight
B
volume
C
mass
D
density
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mass is the measure of matter in a particular object. No matter where that object is in the vast universe, it will have the same mass. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of how much gravitational force is exerted on an object.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. It is a force that an object exerts on earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravity is measured in newtons (N).

Detailed explanation-4: -Weight is the Gravitational force with which the Earth attracts the masses towards its center. Gravity is related to the resultant force with which a mass is attracted to Earth. So, this happens only between Earth and a mass, unlike gravitational force which occurs between any two masses.

Detailed explanation-5: -(1) It is a universal attractive force. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies. (2) It obey inverse square law. (3) It is the weakest force known in nature.
