The measure of the force of gravity on an object is called weight.
Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s². So, the weight can be calculated using the formula:
Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Gravity (g)
For example, if an object has a mass of 10 kg, its weight would be:
W = 10 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 98.1 N
Where N stands for Newtons, which is the unit of force. It’s important to note that weight can vary depending on where you are in the universe because gravity changes with location. For instance, an object would weigh less on the Moon than it does on Earth due to the Moon’s weaker gravitational pull.
