Question

Weight

A) exists independent of gravity
B) is the force of gravity upon an object
C) the same as mass
D) the force that keeps things on the surface of earth

Answer 1

B) is the force of gravity upon an object

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the force of gravity acting upon an object.

• Weight is dependent upon the force of gravity acting on a body

It is mathematically expressed as;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, it exists independently of gravity
