Here's a breakdown:
* Gravity is a force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational pull.
* Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
* Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
Here's the formula to calculate weight:
Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)
* g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.
Example:
* A person with a mass of 70 kg has a weight of 70 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 686 Newtons (N).
Important Note: Weight is a force and is measured in units of Newtons (N).
