Your weight is a force. More specifically the force that keeps you from falling to the center of the Earth at this very moment! It is sometimes confused with mass because weight is often displayed in units of mass (i.e. the kilogram). Mass however does not change when you visit other planets, nor does it become zero in free fall as weight does.
But, a force is not equal to weight because a force is a more general thing. In particular there are four fundamental forces in our Universe: gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Note that it is often the electromagnetic force that provides your weight; it is the electric repulsion between atoms that keeps you from falling into the floor!

∙ 12y agoAn equal and opposite force is a reaction force. Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, while sitting in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. At the same time, your chair exerts an equal and upward force on your body. Your body is exerting an action force, and your chair is exerting a reaction force. These pairs of forces are called action-reaction pairs.

What is unbalanced force in science?
unbalanced force in science term means that the objects are not balanced
What is the effect of balanced pressures acting on an object?
Nothing... It doesn't move since the net force is equal to zero. I learned this in Science class today!
When does output force equal input force?
Output force can only equal input force in a system where there are no losses. In the "real world" we live in, there are losses in every system, and that means that output force can nerver equal input force.
Forces are unbalanced when the net force is not equal to?
Forces that are unbalanced have a net force that does not equal zero
When a force is exerted another force occurs that is----------------in size and ------------in direction?
equal, oppositewhen a force is exerted another force occurs that is equal in size and opposite in direction.wish that helps you. ^ ^
A sentence using balanced force in science?
Equal amount of force pulling from each side of an object causes no change in motion.
What does forses mean in science?
a force is a push or a pull for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
When a force is exerted on a box an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box. These forces are called?
These forces are called frictional forces. (: My source is the Physical Science with Earth science textbook, Chapter 3. (:

Does a balanced force have a net force equal to the largest force?
A balanced force will have a net force that is equal to 0. A balanced force will have an opposing force of equal magnitude of the largest force.
What is unbalanced force in science?
unbalanced force in science term means that the objects are not balanced
What kind of science does swimming have?
It is explained by the Newtons third law of motion. When you push the water backwards, equal and opposite force takes you forward
How do action-reaction explain how a rocket lift off?
As a rocket burns fuel, it expels exhaust gases. When the gases are forced out of the rocket, they exert an equal and opposite force on the rocket. A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward force exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket. As long as this upward pushing force, called thrust, is greater than the downward pull of gravity, there is a net force in the upward direction. As a result, the rocket accelerates upwards.-information from Prentice Hall, Science Explorer: Physical Science

The labor force is equal to the?
The labor force is equal to a financial asset.
