In addition to how much force Earth exerts on the object, which features of an object affect its weight?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the factors that influence an object's weight in addition to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. It presents multiple options to determine which features are relevant.
Answer
Mass and location affect an object's weight.
The features of an object that affect its weight, in addition to the force Earth exerts on it, are its mass and location.
Answer for screen readers
The features of an object that affect its weight, in addition to the force Earth exerts on it, are its mass and location.
More Information
Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object, which depends on its mass and the gravitational field strength at its location.
Tips
A common mistake is to think that shape or density affects weight, but these are not relevant factors in determining gravitational weight.
