How do you explain what is weight?
Weight is the same as heaviness, the extent that something is pulled toward the earth by gravity.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
weight
How much pressure does gravity exert on your body?
The force of gravity between me and the earth is the same in both directions. I'm pulled down toward the center of the earth by a force of 190 pounds, and the earth is pulled up toward the center of me by a force of 190 pounds. I call that force "my weight on earth", and it's also the earth's weight on me.
What is the difference between normal reaction force and weight?
Weight is the force acting downwards towards the earth. The mass of the object with always remain constant while the weight varies according to the gravitational pull towards the earth. In this case, the gravitational pull towards earth is 9.8m/s^2. Weight is given by mass of the object times gravity. W=mg The normal reaction force is the force acting against the weight. It is what keeps you standing on the earth rather then just falling straight down through the earth's crust.
The force of gravity acting upon the mass of an object?
That's usually called the object's "weight". Like say if you're talking about the forces of gravity between you and the Earth, the force of gravity acting on you is your weight on the Earth, and the force of gravity acting on the Earth is the Earth's weight on you, and they're equal.
How do you explain what is weight?
Weight is the same as heaviness, the extent that something is pulled toward the earth by gravity.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
What forces are acting on the 10 kg weight?
98.07 newtons on earth.

What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
How much more or less will you weigh if you went to Mercury?
Being on Mercury will change your weight because you would be pulled down with a smaller force. You would weigh on Mercury 0.38 time your weight on Earth.
What is the weight of the air on the Earth?
The total weight of the air on the earth is not nearly as much as the total weight of the BS that Obama has pulled over the American publics eyes. Amazing huh!!
What does weight measure?
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object, relevant to Earth.
Why will weight be different on planets?
Weight is a result of the Earth pulling us down. The force we are pulled down is dependent on Earth's mass, so on another planet (with a different mass) one would be pulled down in a different manner.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
weight
Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
