Question

Weight is a measure of:
inertia
force
matter
mass

Answer 1

Weight is a measure of force

Answer 2

Weight is a measure of force

Step-by-step explanation:

In general force is defined as the mass multiplied by the acceleration as following:

`F=m*a`

For weight, the acceleration is the gravitational force:

`W=m*g`

It means the weight is the mass of the object multiplie by the gravitational force.

For example if we have an object with mass 10kg, the weight will be:

`W=10kg*9.8(m)/(s^(2))`

`W=98(kg.m)/(s^(2))`

The units for the weight are Newtons (N) that will be expressed as S.I units as

`N=(kg.m)/(s^(2))`

So, the weight for the example, will be

W=98N
