Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on your body.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

As mass increases, gravitational force increases.

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

If an object has more mass, what can we say about its weight?

Back

It will weigh more.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = m × g).
