mass, weight and gravity Flashcards
What makes all things considering towards the ground
On the surface of the planet, gravity makes all things considered towards the ground, forward the same acceleration’g’
What is G
3G acceleration due to gravity and it’s also known as the gravitational field strength
What is G On earth
The value of G is about 10 m/s squared on earth it’s different on other planets though, and can vary slightly in different places on earth (E.G.G will be slightly different Rymsha compare to the top of a mountain)
What is an object its weight
T gives an object its weight which is different from its mass
What is mass
Maths is just the amount of stuff in an object. For any given object this will have the same value anywhere in the universe
What are white and mass measured in
Wait is a force measured in newtons. Maths is not a force it is measured in kilograms
What is wait
Wait is caused by the pull of gravity
What is the formula for weight mass and gravitational Field strength
Weight equals mass times gravitational field strength
