Force of gravity and weight of a body
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Force of gravity on m = 8 kg (g = 10), N?
80
2
If P = 350 N, the mass (kg), g = 10?
35
3
From your own mass compute your weight in N (g = 10).
For example, 40 kg gives 400 N.
4
Write the difference between weight and force of gravity in two sentences.
Gravity acts on the body; weight acts on the support.
5
Why is a body’s weight on the Moon less than on Earth while its mass is unchanged?
g is smaller on the Moon (about 6 times), and mass is the amount of matter.
