What is the relation between weight and acceleration due to gravity?????????????

WEight =[GMo * Mass to be weighted]/[Distance from mass to be weighted to center of the earth]^2\nWhere GMo/R^2 is the acceleration.\nG= gravity constant\nMo = mass of the earth in kilograms\nR = distance ro center of the earth in meters\nIf the mass to be weighted is one kilogram , the acceleration would be numerically equal to the weight.\nThe Units of weight is the same unit as gravity force which is Units of  Newtons.

I think you're asking about the relationship between distance and gravitational pull.\n\nGravitational pull weakens as the distance increases.  The farther you are away from an object, the weaker the gravitational pull will be.\n\nWe say that gravity is "inversely proportional" to distance - meaning as distance increases, gravity decreases, and as distance decreases, gravity increases.\n\nMore specificially, gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance - meaning that if the distance increases by a factor of 2, gravity decreases by a factor of 4, and if the distance increases by a factor of 3, gravity decreases by a factor of 9.

W=mg ... where g is the gravitational acceleration

An object has mass regardless of gravity.  Gravity gives us 'weight' by placing force on the mass.\n\nSo, strictly speaking, an object's "mass" is a measure of how much matter it contains.  An object's "weight" is a measure of gravity's effect on that object.\n\nSo an object's mass doesn't change if it is on a different planet, but its weight will.

Weight is defined as the force of attration b/w the earth and the object.\nAs we know that the force is defined as:\nF=m*a    (Force = mass * acceleration)\n\nIn our case, this force is the wieght of the body and the acceleration is the acceleration due to gracity i.e g. So the formula becomes:\n\nw = m*g

this seems an easy question but most of the student get it wrong since it is so easy to mess up your mind. it was a part of an exercise for my University exams. it makes you realise what is going on with spring ...just consider it as a opposing force. the body will drop and will expirience g --> it will accelerate. at the same time it will also expirience the sping;s opposing force.\n\nit will accelerate till the force become equal. this is the importnat factor. weight will keep on accelerating the body till it is completely cancelled by the spring force.\n\nso when \nFs = Weight then Velocity is maximum. \nso kx =mg =>\n\nx = mg / k.  (at this displacement the velocity  will be maximum)\n\nat this specigic point due to the theorem of conservation of energy we get that.\n\nkinetic energy + sping stored energy = potential energy at the start.\n\nso \n1/2mu^2 = (m*g)^2 / k => (be carefull mass = 76.7/1000kg)\nU = \n\nU = sqrt (( m*g^2)/k)) => u = 0.361m/s 9\n\nIF THE ALGBRA IS CORRECT\n\nNOW AFTER THAT POINT the body will still travel due to inertia and the springs force  larger now than gravity wll slow it down and bring it at rest \nat that point all the potential energy (due to height difference) will be transfornmed to springs stored energy therefore,\n\n1/2 k xmax^2 = mgXmax =>\n\nXmax = 2*m*g / k =>\n\nXmax = 0.02658m \n\n\n( i am at work and i believe the algebra is correct. the main point is to realise where certain things happen.)

I think F is the answer. Taking acceleration due to gravity is constant at 9.81ms^-2, but this assumes that air resistance is neglected, and g is a constant.\n\nIf air resistance is NOT neglected, and acceleration due to gravity is not taken to be constant, H is the correct answer. The rest of the options are wrong.

hey, didnt i answer something very similar to this for you? you need to do F=ma so 43000000N/2100000kg then you get an acceleration, but then you have to subtract gravity from this because thats the acceleration produced by the rocket but there is still gravity pulling with 9.8 m/s^2 in the opposite direction. so just do (43000000/2100000) - 9.8, and that's your answer :)

Mass is a property of matter, it is related to its bulk; how much stuff there is. Weight is the result of a mass subjected to an acceleration, usually the gravity of a planet.  How much gravity a planet gives is a function of its mass, so smaller planet or moons will make you feel lighter (less weight) despite your constant mas.  Also, if you are in orbit, in what is called micro-gravity or free fall, you can even stop feeling any acceleration at all, hence you are weightless, but not massless. In space, you could move very large objects as they have no weight, but you could only move them slowly as your force is limited, and the mass of the object is still there.\nWeight is in direct proportion of the mass of the object attracting you, an in inverse square proportion of how far away one is from the object.\n\nThink of it as pushing a car on neutral on a flat road.  How come it takes so much strength?  Because the car has mass.  In this case, its weight is irrelevant as it it entirely supported by the wheels. But the bulk remains.  Here, the weight manifest itself by hom much compressed the tire and suspension components are squeezed.\nYou can also envision a large ship.  Again, its weight is balanced by the buoyancy of the water -- the weight determines how deep the ship sits in the water.  But try to put it in motion (you have a rope attached to it, and you are on land pulling), and that will take a lot of force.  Sure the ship will move, but that would be very slowly, because the mass of the ship is so great.

Weight can be determined by mass and the pull of gravity exerted on an object. But mass is not an indication of weight. Mass is presumed to be constant through varying gravities while weight fluctuates because it is proportional to both of these variables.

NO.  All objects, when free-falling, fall at a constant acceleration of 9.80 m/s².  The formula to calculate the force of gravity on an object is Fg = m*g, where m is the mass of an object and g is the acceleratin due to gravity.  As you can see from this formula, since g must stay constant, if the mass increases, the force due to gravity must also increase.  Therefore, no matter what the mass of an object is, it will still accelerate towards the ground at the same rate.

This is too freaky. A problem that goes out of its way to EMPHASIZE weight not mass would give the weight in Newtons. Gram is a unit of mass, not weight.

for gaining speed acceleration is required.acceleration is provided by a force.the force which provides acceleration to falling bodies is the force of gravity or the gravitational pull.\n\nthe speed of any falling object is given by the formula\nv=u+gt where u is the initial velocity which is zero for an object falling from rest,v is the velocity after a lapse of time t and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is approximately 10 metre/sec/sec.you will find that the mass of the object or the weight which is nothing but the force with which the earth is pulling it (w=mg) doesn't figure in this formula at all.The momentum of the heavier object will be more as momentum is the product of the mas and the velocity\n\nif at all there is any marginal difference in the speeds it could be attributed to the resistance provided by the atmosphere

When the lift descending,the acceleration is increasing.Relatively,body and the lift is moving down with a gradually increase speed.The acceleration will increase until its value is the same as the value of the acceleration due to gravity.\n\nLet R = normal reaction of the floor of the lift on the body, \n   mg = the weight of the body inside the lift\n    g = acceleration due to gravity\n      = 9.81 meter per second square (unit SI)\n    F = resultant force of the whole system\nusing this equation:\n\n     F = ma     \n     F = mg - R  (because the lift is moving downwards,\n                  resultant force is moving downwards too.)\nmg - R = m(a)    (a = g,because the acceleration of the lift\n                 is equals to the acceleration due to the\n                 gravity)\nmg - R = mg\n     R = 0\n\nAs R = 0,the body will not experience any force exerted by the floor of the lift,the body experiences weightlessness.\n\nIn short, weightlessness happens only when a body is in free fall motion, or fall freely under the gravity, or a more accurate explaination, weightlessness happens when a body falls freely with an acceleration which is equals to the acceleration due to gravity.\n\nHope my answer helps you.

Gravity is the force of attraction between massive particles. Weight is determined by the mass of an object and its location in a gravitational field. While a great deal is known about the properties of gravity, the ultimate cause of the gravitational force remains an open question. General relativity is the most successful theory of gravitation to date. It postulates that mass and energy curve space-time, resulting in the phenomenon known as gravity.\n\nGravity is acceleration.  means that (if the mass is unvarying) there must be a force that causes a mass to accelerate. For a rocket ship, that is the rocket engine. For the earth, it is the compression of the mass between something on the surface of the earth and the earth's center of mass. The acceleration is in relation to spacetime in that the weight one feels is one's resistance to deviating from one's path in spacetime. The same holds true in the rocket ship except that a rocket engine supplies the force to accelerate an occupant from his spacetime path. There is no difference between the weight he feels because of gravity or the rocket.

As explained above it will have different values at different places but standart value for the gravitational acceleration of Earth is g=9.81 m/s/s and 1 kg mass will weigh 9.81 Newtons on Earth if you calculate it with the standart value.

Force=Mass x Acceleration\n\nSo Acceleration = Force/Mass\n\nHope this helps
