Here's the breakdown:
* Gravity: A force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force.
* Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in an object.
* Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Formula for weight:
Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)
* g: This is a constant value that represents the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (approximately 9.8 m/s²).
Key points:
* Weight is a force, so it's measured in units of Newtons (N).
* Mass is a property of an object and is measured in units of kilograms (kg).
* While mass is constant, weight can change depending on the gravitational force acting on the object. For example, an object's weight on the moon would be less than its weight on Earth because the moon has weaker gravity.
