Question

Weight is best described as:

A. the interval between two events.
B. the amount of matter in an object.
C. a measure of gravitational force on an object.
D. the amount of surface included within a set of boundaries.

Answer 1

C is the correct answer!

Answer 2

Weight measured as a force in Newtonsis best described by the answer that is listed under option C. It is a measure of gravitational force on an object. So, interestingly an item with a specific mass of say 120KGs on earth would weigh 1200 N but on the moon only weigh 200 N due to the smaller gravitational force.
