The word is "angstrom," not "anstrom."
An angstrom is a unit of length - a very, very small unit.
One angstrom is ten to the minus ten meters, which is one ten-billionth of a meter.
Angstrom units are often used in measurements such as the wavelengths of various kinds of light, from say infrared to ultraviolet.

Asked in Physics, Gravity
What is measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an
object. The formula is W = mg, where W is weight, m
is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2
on the earth.

What does weight measure?
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object,
relevant to Earth.
Asked in Gravity
Does mass vary according to the force of gravity?
No, mass does not vary according to the force of gravity. Mass
is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight, however, is
a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object; as such,
weight varies according to gravitational field strength.
Asked in Units of Measure, Physics
Why is weight a force?
Weight is a force because force is defined as a push or pull on
an object, and due to an object's mass on earth,another force
(gravity) pulls on an object. The measure of weight(Fg) is the
force gravity acting on an object. The force gravity is always
directed downward.
Asked in Science, Physics
The force of gravity acting upon an object is the object's?
The force of gravity acting upon an object is the object's
weight. Weight is calculated by the mass of the object multiplied
by the force of gravity (9.8m/s^2).

What is the measure of force of gravity acting on an object?
It is measured in units called Newtons (N). 1 N = the force of
Earth's gravity on a mass of about 102g.

Gravity.
Asked in Physics
Is mass a measure of force of gravity acting on the object?
No. Mass is a characteristic that exerts a force of gravity on
another mass. The measure of force is the Newton. The Newton uses
mass as part of the factors that go into the calculation.

Asked in Physics, Science Experiments, Gravity
An objects mass is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object?
No, mass is a measure of how much matter there is. Weight is the
measure of force of gravity acting on that mass. A rock has the
same mass whether it's on Earth or the Moon or Jupiter, or floating
out in space. The weight for each of these situations will be quite
different.
Asked in Units of Measure
Measure of force of gravity acting on a object?
The strength of the forces in both directions between an object
and the Earth is
the weight of the object on Earth, and the weight
of the Earth on the object.
(They're equal.)
Asked in Physics
Does Mass divided by weight equal velocity?
NO it does not
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight
is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object.
weight = force = mass * acceleration
Divide mass by weight and you get acceleration.
Asked in Science, Physics, Gravity
What is the measure of the force of gravity acting upon an object?
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.
Asked in Math and Arithmetic, Physics, Gravity
Is the mass of an object plus gravity?
No. The force of gravity acting on an object's mass is
weight.
