Force of Gravity Practice

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?

• 12 N
• 140 N
• 1412 N
• 2875 N

What is the value of g on Earth?

• 9.81 m/s^2
• 9.81 N
• 9.81 m
• 9.81 s/m^2

a 10 kg object on the moon experiences a gravity force of 16.2 N. What is the value of g on the moon?

• 9.81 m/s^2
• 1.62 m/s^2
• 162 m/s^2

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

• 98 N
• 100 N
• 961 N
• 1102 N

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

• 73 N
• 716 N
• 1073 N
• 7702 N

The force of gravity on Earth can be measured with a scale. If the scale reads 176 N, what is the mass of the object being weighed?

• 2 kg
• 9 kg
• 18 kg
• 24 kg

An object is weighed on Earth, and the scale reads 104 N. That same object is then taken into orbit, where the value of g is different. If the scale reads 96 N in orbit, what is the value of g there? 

• 1.62 m/s^2
• 3.78 m/s^2
• 9.81 m/s^2
• 9.05 m/s^2
