What is the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object?
mass of object *force of gravity
Are weight and mass similar?
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.
Which unit measurement should be used to describe the mass of an apple?
The mass of an apple is described in grams, the weight of the same apple is described in Newtons. This is the force that a mass exerts due to the local attraction of gravity. A gram mass is consistent throughout the universe, a gram force changes, Unfortunately the weight of an apple is often expressed as a gram without noting that this is gram force.
What is the force of gravity pulling on your mass measured in newtons?
weight
When gravity is pulling you downward when you sit is this balanced or unbalance force?
Force equals mass times acceleration, if you are sitting at rest you are not accelerating, so your acceleration is zero. The force is your mass times zero, 75 kg x 0 ms-2= 0 newtons. If the force is zero, this means the force of gravity pulling you down is cancelled out by the force of the chair pushing you up. So the forces are balanced.

Is the magnitude of force measured in grams or newtons?
Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.
Do gram measure force?
No, gram is a unit of mass; the unit of force is newton.
Are weight and mass similar?
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.
Is gram is unit of force?
No, it is a unit of mass.
What is the pulling force that causes mass wasting?
That force is known as gravity.
What are the physics involved in tractor pulling a sled?
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.
How does mass affects gravitational force?
Mass helps the gravitational force by pulling the object down

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.
