A measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object its value can change with the location of the object in the universe?
Weight
How does the concept of mass differ from the concept of weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass remains unaffected by gravity. Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object and is therefore affected by gravity.
What do you call the measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object?
Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.
With regard to the object-lifting the IMA is equal to the?
effort, resistance
What is meant by the phrase measurement is a process of comparison?
Measurement is a process of comparison between a certified standard or a calibrated measuring instrument and the object or the material to be measured (analyzed). For example, to measure a weight you compare the weight of an object with the calibrated weights of a balance.
How much force does one exert when lifting an object?
The force would be the weight of the object.
What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
What is the measure of the earth's pull on an object?
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
Can we use light to measure the weight of any object?
using the light alone to measure the weight of a unknown object is impossible.
Why might scientists measure the weight of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?
The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.
Measure of gravity of an object?
Weight
Is a measure of the gravitatiional force on an object?
That is called the object's WEIGHT.
What is the measure of the force of gravity of acting on an object?
the WEIGHT of the object.
EXPLAIN the difference between the mass of an object and the weight of an object No definitions?
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
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.
What is a weight?
"Weight" is a measure of gravitational force acting on an object.
