Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg). The Earth’s gravitational field strength at, or close to, the surface is 10 N/kg. This means that for each kilogram of mass, an object will experience 10 N of force.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth’s gravitational field strength (g) is 10 N/kg. This means that for each kg of mass, an object will experience 10 N of force.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s gravitational field strength is 9.8 N/kg. This means that for each kg of mass, an object will experience 9.8 N of force. Where there is a weaker gravitational field, the weight of an object is smaller. For example, the gravitational field strength of the Moon is 1.6 N/kg.
