Question

Weight is a measure of:
inertia
force
matter
mass

Answer 1

Weight is a measure of force

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight is a measure of force

Explanation:

In general force is defined as the mass multiplied by the acceleration as following:

$F=m*a$

For weight, the acceleration is the gravitational force:

$W=m*g$

It means the weight is the mass of the object multiplie by the gravitational force.

For example if we have an object with mass 10kg, the weight will be:

$W=10kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$W=98\frac{kg.m}{s^{2}}$

The units for the weight are Newtons (N) that will be expressed as S.I units as

$N=\frac{kg.m}{s^{2}}$

So, the weight for the example, will be

W=98N
