Want this question answered?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
mass times the acceleration due to gravity
Weight is a force equal to the product of an object's mass and gravity. Gravity in this context is not a force but an acceleration. Near the Earth's surface, that acceleration is 9.8 m/s², regardless of the mass.
No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
Weight (in kilogrammes) is equal to the mass (in Newtons) multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared).W = mgwhere g = 9.81ms-2 (on earth)
The weight is equal to the mass, multiplied by the gravitational field.Due to the units used, the answer in this case is in newton.

mass times the acceleration due to gravity
WEIGHT IS EQUAL TO MASS INTO ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY. MATHEMATICALLY: W=mg
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.

Gravity (acceleration) is equal to Force divided by mass. So, 126 / 15 = 8.4m/s^2
F=ma Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
