How do you explain what is weight?

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is a measure of the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. In simpler terms, weight is what we feel when we stand on a scale.


Why are the terms mass and weight. used synonymously on earth?

On Earth, mass and weight are used synonymously because the gravitational force acting on an object is constant. Weight is essentially the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Since the gravitational acceleration is approximately the same at the surface of the Earth, the terms mass and weight can be used interchangeably.


What is air and water resistance called?

Air resistance is also known as drag, while water resistance is commonly referred to as drag or fluid resistance. Both terms describe the force that opposes the motion of an object through air or water.

Is gravitational force also known as weight?

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects due to their mass, while weight is the force of gravity on an object's mass. The terms are related but not interchangeable, as weight is the result of gravitational force acting on an object's mass.

Is gravity the weight of an object based on the weight and force?

No! You can not define weight in terms of weight. When you define anything in terms of itself, you do not have a definition, you have a tautology. Such is not science but scientism. It is a fraud. One definition could be the attractive force two masses exert when they attract each other.

What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?

Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that opposes the motion of objects moving through air. It is caused by the collision of air molecules with the surface of the object, resulting in a frictional force that slows down the object's motion.


In terms of the forces acting upon it why does a boat float?

A boat floats because of buoyant force, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid (water) on an object immersed in it. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, providing an upward force that counteracts the weight of the boat. As long as the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight of the boat, it will float.
