Net Force. Weight vs mass

Front

What is the formula for weight?

Back

F = w = mg, where F is the force (weight), m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 1.0 kg on Earth? (Assume g = 9.8 m/s²)

Back

9.8 Newtons.

Front

What is the value of 'g' on Jupiter?

Back

26 m/s².

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Front

What does weight measure?

Back

The force of gravity due to the planet.

Front

What is the unit of weight in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, weight increases.

Front

What is static equilibrium?

Back

A state where an object is at rest and the net force acting on it is zero.

Front

What is dynamic equilibrium?

Back

A state where an object is moving at a constant velocity and the net force acting on it is zero.

Front

How do you calculate weight on another planet?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration of the planet.
