What is the name given to the gravitational force on an object?
WEIGHT
What is the definition of atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the force (weight of Earth's atmosphere) exerted on you by the weight of tiny particles of air, the air molecules above and around you. This is also referred to as "barometric pressure" (measured with a barometer) and will change with altitude or elevation. The standard pressure is 1 ATM (atmosphere), equal to 101325 pascals or 1013.25 mbar.
What name is given to the force caused by the pull of gravity?
its is just called Force= F
Is weight a measurement of how much mass is in a given volume?
No weight is a measurement of how much force something experiences due to gravity.
What is the given name for the force of gravity acting on you?
It is your weight, which manifests as a downward force exerted by your body, although it is also an acceleration to a greater force if you fall.
What force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called what?
Atmospheric pressure
What is The force on a given area by the weight of air above it?
Downforce
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of air above it is?
Downforce
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it?
The atmospheric pressure at that place and at that time.
Does pressure vary with dept due to the force of gravity?
Yes, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of water above a given depth. Weight is caused/determined by gravity.
What is the name given to the gravitational force on an object?
WEIGHT
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.
How do you find force given weight and work?
You cannot. You do not have the necessary information.
What is the amount of force placed on a given material called?
The amount of force is called stress.
The amount of force exerted on a given area is called?
The Amount Of Force
What is atmospheric pressure based on?
What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc.
How do you find the mass of an object given the weight and volume?
If you know the force of gravity then mass = weight/gravitational force. If you don't then you cannot. Knowing the volume is useless.
