What is a measurement of an objects weight?

Answer 1

The formula: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

On Earth, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 9.8 N/kg.
On the Moon, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 1.6 N/kg.
On the Sun, acceleration due to gravity has a value of about 274.1 N/kg.

Answer 2

Weight is measured with a set of scales or a balance, whether electronic or analogue. The weight of an object is different to its mass. The weight is in relation to the gravitational pull so alters at different places in the universe (and earth slightly) so things weigh less on the moon but they have the same mass. Mass is measured in grams etc whereas weight should be measured in Newtons.

Answer 3

the weight of an object is mass times gravity

Answer 4

Multiply its mass (m) by the acceleration due to gravity (g) to find the weight (Fg). On Earth, g is usually about 9.81 m/s2.

Fg = m * 9.81 m/s2

Answer 5

you can try to use a rule to do it. just put your rule there then put your finger at the end of the rule then now start from your finger there but you have to add the number that you did

Answer 6

The amount of gravitational pull applied to the object. An object weighs more on Earth than the moon because the moon has less gravity. Less gravity= less weight.

Answer 7

An object is weighed based on the mass of the object in relation to the gravitational force excerted on the object.

Answer 8

no thats mass weight is actually a force from the Earth's gravitational pull

Answer 9

Weight is a measurement of the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is commonly measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
