Gravitational Field Strength and Weight: Understanding the Force of Gravity

What is the primary reason we experience gravity more significantly on Earth compared to smaller objects?

• Earth rotates on its axis.

• Earth has a magnetic field.

• Earth is closer to the Sun.

• Earth has a larger mass.

What is the term used for the force exerted on an object due to gravity?

• Density

• Volume

• Weight

• Mass

How is the weight of an object calculated?

• Weight = Mass + Gravitational Field Strength

• Weight = Mass / Gravitational Field Strength

• Weight = Mass * Gravitational Field Strength

• Weight = Mass - Gravitational Field Strength

If an astronaut weighs 980 newtons on Earth, what would be their weight on the Moon where the gravitational field strength is 1.6 N/kg?

• 16 newtons

• 160 newtons

• 980 newtons

• 1000 newtons

What happens to the weight of an object if its mass is doubled?

• The weight remains the same.

• The weight is tripled.

• The weight is halved.

• The weight is doubled.

What is the weight of a 1 kg object on Earth?

• 0.98 newtons

• 98 newtons

• 9.8 newtons

• 1 newton

If two bags of flour each weigh 9.8 newtons on Earth, what is their combined weight?

• 39.2 newtons

• 9.8 newtons

• 19.6 newtons

• 29.4 newtons
