What role does gravity play in the weight of an object?

In physics, weight is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on a mass.

You probably know that you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. For instance, if you weigh 100. pounds on Earth, you will weigh 16.6 pounds on the Moon. But, if your mass on Earth is 100 kg, your mass on the Moon is... also 100 kg. Because the amount of matter you have does not change from the Earth to the Moon, but the gravitational force on the Earth is stronger than on the Moon, so you weigh more on Earth.

You can think of gravity pulling a mass toward the center of an object like the Earth. It pulls a lot harder for more massive objects like the Earth than for the Moon. That's why there's a difference in weight.

As a caveat, adding energy or mass to an object will affect its mass. Additionally, general relativity informs us that when something as traveling very near the speed of light, the whole idea of mass equivalency is not exactly true...

Explanation:

The size of a basketball court in the NBA is usually 28.65m x 15.24m giving a total court area of 436.62m².

The NBA is the acronym for National Basketball Association. It comprises of several teams from across United states and Canada in basketball league.

  • The game is played by hand with a target basket.
  • For each successive throw into the basket, 1 or 2 or 3 points can be awarded.

The two spheres pictured above have equal densities and are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. Which of the
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

If two spheres have equal densities and they are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. We need to say that the quantities that must have the same magnitude for both spheres. So, the correct option is (E) i.e. gravitational force.

It is because of Newton's third law of motion. It states that the force due to object 1 to object 2 is same as force due to object 2 to object 1. The two forces act in opposite direction.  

Hence, the correct option is (E) "Gravitational force".
