What is another name for the force of gravity on your body?

Weight is the force of gravity on your body.


What instrument is used to measure the mass of the body?

A scale. Although it only measures the attractive force of gravity, it also provides your mass because of the known gravity of the Earth.


What instrument measures how the force of gravity on Earth's surface differs from the force of gravity on the Moon's surface?

a spring scale


When you stand on a bathroom scale what displays the earth is exerting you?

The bathroom scale measures the force exerted by your body due to gravity, which is the force exerted by the Earth pulling you towards its center. This force is represented as your weight.


What exactly does a bathroom scale measure?

A bathroom scale measures the force exerted by your body due to gravity. This force is converted into a weight measurement, typically in pounds or kilograms, which indicates your mass.


What force does the weight of a body represent?

The weight of a body represents the force exerted by gravity on that body. It is the downward force acting on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.


When you stand on a bathroom scale what does it display the earth exerting on you?

Newer scales like digital and spring scales, measure the force your body exerts on the pad you're standing on, which is your weight. The scale then divides your weight by gravity to give you your mass.


The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?

The weight registered on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of gravity. Gravity exerts a force on your body mass, causing it to be pulled downwards. This force is measured as weight when you step on a scale.


What force pulls the body to the lower part of the body?

Gravity.


The force with which gavity attracts a body?

The force with which gravity attracts a body is called weight. It depends on the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to calculate weight is weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.


What will be done if the acceleration of the body greater then gravitational energy?

If the acceleration of a body is greater than the acceleration due to gravity, the body will start moving upward against the force of gravity. It may continue to accelerate if the net force acting on the body is greater than the force of gravity.


What force Measures the pull of gravity on an object. SI unit is the Newton (N)?

The force that measures the pull of gravity on an object is called weight. Weight is a vector quantity with the SI unit of Newtons (N). It is calculated as the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).
