Questions and Answers

What is the definition of weight in physics?

  • The acceleration of an object in free fall
  • The resistance to motion of an object
  • The force of Earth's gravitational pull on an object (correct)
  • The velocity of an object in motion

    • Why is the weight of an object on the moon one-sixth of its weight on Earth?

  • Because the moon is smaller than Earth
  • Because the moon's atmosphere is thinner than Earth's
  • Because the moon's surface is rougher than Earth's
  • Because the moon has a weaker gravitational pull (correct)

    • What is the standard metric unit for weight?

  • Gravitons
  • Newtons (correct)
