The force of gravity acting on an object is the object’s ____
|
|
mass
|
|
|
matter
|
|
|
weight
|
|
|
friction
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. According to Newton’s laws of motion, force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration, and the equation for force is F = m * a, where m = mass and a = acceleration. We can use this equation to solve for weight.
