Pre AP ICP - Unit 10 Day 8 - Weight - Force of Gravity Practice

Front

What is the force of gravity experienced by a 98 kg person on Earth?

Back

961 N

Front

What is the value of g on Earth?

Back

9.8 m/s^2

Front

A box with a mass of 12 kg is sitting at rest on the surface of the earth. What is the force of gravity acting on it?

Back

118 N

Front

What is the force of gravity experienced by a 73 kg object on Earth?

Back

716 N

Front

What is another name for the 'force of gravity'?

Back

weight

Front

Define weight in the context of physics.

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 formula to calculate the force of gravity?

Back

F = m * g, where F is the force of gravity, m is mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

If an object has a mass of 5 kg, what is its weight on Earth?

Back

49 N (using g = 9.8 m/s^2).

Front

How does mass differ from weight?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the weight of an object if it is taken to the Moon?

Back

The weight decreases because the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is about 1.6 m/s^2.
