Directly proportional
Study Notes
Gravity and Weight
- The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Weight and Gravity in Different Environments
- When an object is taken to the moon, its weight decreases due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull compared to the Earth's.
Mass and Gravity
- The force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass, but the mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location or gravitational field.
