mass and weight Flashcards
whats mass defined by
the amount of matter in a body
measured by kg
what is weight
the force of gravity on a object
whats acceleration of free fall
the acceleration of an object towards the surface of the earth when the only force on it is the gravitational force
whats the equation for weight
weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
w = m x g
in earth what is the gravitational force per 1 kg
10N
what is the w mean in the weight equation
what about m
and g
force of gravity
mass
acceleration due to gravity
what does g mean in the weight equation
the gravitational acceleration
what do all bodies of air resistance fall by
10m/s
whats earths gravitational field strength
10N
what is vertical motion under gravity
when a body is thrown vertically upwards its motion is opposed by the force of gravity the body has experienced negative acceleration
this is known as deceleration or retardation
