mass of object *force of gravity
weight
F=mgF is the force pulling objects toward the Earthm is the mass of the objectg is the acceleration due to gravity; this number is a constant for all masses of matter
Mass is a measure of how much matter something has. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on that mass. So an object that weighs 1kg on Earth would weigh less on the Moon which has less gravity even though the mass of the object is constant. The relationship is: Force of gravity on an object in a certain place = (object's mass) x (acceleration of gravity in that place) .
Yes, very alike, but mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object.
mass of object *force of gravity
That force is known as gravity.

Gravity is NOT a pulling Force. Gravity is a "Pushing" Force of Mass Expansion. Earth Mass is Expanding at the Gravitational Acceleration rate of 9.808175174 m/s^2
mass is the amount of matter that something has, not affected by gravity. Gravity is a force or traction. Lastly weight is the force of gravity pulling on an object or a mass
Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun.
Gravity is a force but has no mass.

When a tractor is pulling a sled there is the mass and gravity of both the tractor and sled slowing it down. There is also tension in the rope pulling the sled. whenever physics is involved to solve a force there is usually a frictional force acting on the objects. The formula to use is F=ma. The total mass is the mass of the objects put together and the total force is the force that the tractor is pulling at minus mg (mass x gravity) and minus the frictional force. The tension (T) is calculated using the formula T=W+ma (W=mgh), using only the mass of the sled.

No, that's not correct at all.First ... the mass of an object doesn't change. What changes is the force between that objectand any other object with mass. That force is what we call the "weight" of the objects.Also ... it's very misleading to talk about "how much gravity is pulling". The force of gravity actsbetween two masses. The forces are always equal on both objects, and the strength of the forcedepends on both masses.
