What does weight mean in science terms?
In science, the weight of an object is the force on the object due to gravity.
What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
What is the SI units for weight?
Weight is measured in newtons.The S.I Unit for weight is Newton.Newton.The SI unit for weight, which is a force on a mass, due to gravity, is the newton. The terminology is tricky, though. Many people use the terms weight and mass interchangeably. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.Newton.The SI unit for weight, which is a force on a mass, due to gravity, is the newton.

A metal box is attached to a small parachutes dropped by a helicopterexplain in terms of force why its velocity increases immediately after being dropped?
Because the resultant force is downwards (because force of air resistance<gravity when dropped) and will accelerate at 9.8m/s2
What is the definition for weight in scientific terms?
The weight of an object, denoted by W, is defined as being equal to the force exerted on it by gravity. This force is the product of the mass m of the object and the local gravitational acceleration g. Expressed in a formula: W = mg. In the International System of Units, the unit of measurement for weight is the same as that for force: the newton.
What does FRL stand for?
In construction terms it is the "Fire Resistance Level"
What is the measurement of gravity between objects?
The measurement will be in terms of force or weight just as the measurement of the force holding a person to the earth is given by their weight.
What does weight mean in science terms?
In science, the weight of an object is the force on the object due to gravity.
Is gravity the weight of an object based on the weight and force?
No! You can not define weight in terms of weight. When you define anything in terms of itself, you do not have a definition, you have a tautology. Such is not science but scientism. It is a fraud. One definition could be the attractive force two masses exert when they attract each other.
What does GAWR stand for in automotive terms?
Stands for "Gross Axel Weight Rating"

What is the relationship between air resistance and the acceleration of falling objects?
As an object falls towards the earth, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it's mass. As velocity increases, air resistance increases. This is in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on the object. Therefore the resultant force on the object is decreased, and the rate of acceleration is reduced. Eventually, the force due to the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the weight and the object has no resultant force acting. At this point the object will be travelling at a constant velocity, commonly referred to as Terminal Velocity.
What is resistance in weight training terms?
It's hard to explain, so I'll put it this way. Assuming you know what a Bench Press is, when you push up there is positive resistance. Say the bar ways 45 lbs and you have 55 lbs of weight plates then there is 100 lbs of positive resistance. When you let the bar down after you have pushed it up there is 100 lbs of negative resistance, because it is coming towards you, you are not working to push it up but rather to take it down.
What does the abbreviation PAF stand for?
PAF can stand for many different terms. In immunology, PAF refers to platelets activating factors. It also commonly refers to a nation's airforce (e.g. Pakistan air force, Philippine air force).
