Question

What does weight measure?

Quantity of matter in an object
How much space an object takes up
Force of gravity acting on an object
How long it takes for an event to occur

Answer 1

Force of gravity on an object

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's derive this

• Mass=m
• Acceleration due to gravity=g

Apply Newton's second law

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow F=ma`

So

`\\ \tt\hookrightarrow W=mg`
