In science the term weight is meant to describe the force on the object due to gravity. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force is the newton. The formula to show this measure is W = mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.

What quantity is a measure of the turning effect of a force?
torque
Which physical quantity corresponds to rate of change of momentum?
velocity [dv=ds/dt]
What property of matter do scientists measure in newtons?
The quantity that is measured in Newtons is force.
Force is a quantity made up of?
Force is a vector quantity. This is because vector quantities do have direction and magnitude. Since force can cause a physical change whereby it is also a push or a pull, it has both features of a vector quantity.
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity
What quantity is a measure of the turning effect of a force?
torque
What quantity is used to measure force?
Element and compounds can move from one phase to another phase when special physical forces are present.
What is a quantity used to measure force?
Newtons :)
What do Scientists use as quantity to measure force?
gravity
What is the physical quantity of weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass. It is typically measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
What quantity is force made up of?
The 'physical dimensions' of force are [ mass x length/time2 ].
What is the quantity that measure how much a machine multiplies force?
it is the pulley system
Why is force a scalar quantity?
Force is not a SCALAR because it always has a DIRECTION, making it a VECTOR. A SCALAR quantity is a one-dimensional physical quantity, i.e. one that can be described by a single real number.
Which physical quantity corresponds to rate of change of momentum?
velocity [dv=ds/dt]
Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
What property of matter do scientists measure in newtons?
The quantity that is measured in Newtons is force.
Force is a quantity made up of?
Force is a vector quantity. This is because vector quantities do have direction and magnitude. Since force can cause a physical change whereby it is also a push or a pull, it has both features of a vector quantity.
