The force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity is known as weight.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body.

The formula is :

                                W =mg

Here,

W is the weight or force acting on the body. m is the mass of the body, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since weight is also a force, so its SI unit is also newton. The value of weight varies from place to place depending on the gravity. Its value can also be equal to zero.

Why do you think that some asteroids tumble end over end through space while other asteroids rotate around their axis?
Scilla [17]
Asteroids do this because of Newton's Third Law. When a asteroid hits something, it will keep on moving (spinning) until it hits something else.

If you push a chair across the floor at a cibstant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert?
Roman55 [17]

-- "constant velocity"   ===>    acceleration is 0 .

-- acceleration=0   ===>   forces are balanced

-- balanced forces   ===>  (friction) + (force you exert)  =  0

                                           (friction) = -(force you exert)

                        They have equal magnitude and opposite direction.
