Net Force. Weight vs mass

Front

What is the definition of weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration (W = m * g).

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass, measured in Newtons.

Front

What is the formula to calculate weight?

Back

Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Gravitational acceleration (g).

Front

What is the value of gravitational acceleration (g) on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

How do you convert mass in kilograms to weight in Newtons?

Back

Multiply the mass in kilograms by 9.8 m/s².

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 kg, what is its weight on Earth?

Back

Weight = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 Newtons.

Front

What is the value of gravitational acceleration (g) on Jupiter?

Back

Approximately 26 m/s².

Front

How do you find the mass of an object if you know its weight?

Back

Mass (m) = Weight (W) / Gravitational acceleration (g).

Front

If a student weighs 500 Newtons on Earth, what is their mass?

Back

Mass = 500 N / 10 m/s² = 50 kg.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.
