I believe it is weight...

gravity pulls down on a scale and that's what gives us our weight.

+++

Weight = the object's mass X the acceleration due to gravity - on Earth the mean value of g is 9.8metres/second^2

Can you use a force meter to measure weight?

Yes, a force meter can measure weight because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. By using a force meter to measure the force acting on an object placed on the meter, you can determine its weight.


What object is the measure of the force of the gravity on that object?

In our daily life on Earth, we call that the object's "weight".


How does it move around the sun?

For object to orbit around the Sun, it required gravitation force from mass of the Sun in balance with centripetal force from velocity of the object. If the gravitation force is too strong then the object would pull down to the sun and if the centripetal force is too great then the object would escape from the orbit.


What is gravitational force in space?

Same as on Earth. In both cases, you can use the law of gravitation to figure out with how much force an object gets attracted.Same as on Earth.

What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?

The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.


How is newtons third law connected to universal gravitation?

Newton's third law states that if an object "A" exerts a force on object "B", then object "B" will exert the same force (but in the opposite direction), on object "A". This applies to gravitation, as well as other forces.

Is mass a force or a measure of the amount of matter in an object?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, not a force.


How is terminal velocity reached by a falling object?

While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase.

What is the measure of the gravitational force exerted by earth on an object?

The measure of the gravitational force exerted by Earth on an object is typically calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation: F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between their centers. This force is commonly referred to as weight when an object is near Earth's surface.


How does size impact gravitation force in solar system?

The force of gravity exerted by an object is directly proportional to its mass, not its size.is
