Isn't it "gravity" this would makes sense because grvaity difines weight

The "weight" of any object IS the force of <em>gravity</em> between the object and the Earth.

The force is always directed "down", because it's always directed toward the center of the Earth, and we call that direction "down" even though it's a different direction in every place.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force F₁ in right direction = F₁cos37

= 12 x cos37 = 9.58 N .

Component of force F₂ in  vertically upward direction = F₁sin37

= 12 x sin37 = 7.22 N .

a ) Let normal force be R

R + F₁sin37  = mg

R + 7.22 = 1.5 x 9.8 = 14.7

R = 7.48 N .

b )

Net force in horizontal direction = F₂ - F₁cos37

= F₂ - 9.58

This is equal to zero as body is moving with zero acceleration

F₂ - 9.58 = 0

F₂ = 9.58 N

c ) If body is moving with acceleration of 2.5 m /s² along the direction of F₂

F₂ - 9.58 = 1.5 x 2.5 = 3.75

F₂ = 13.33 N .

A person on earth would weigh a lot more on the sun due to increased ________________. gravity mass atoms energy
klemol [59]
A person on Earth would weigh a lot more on the sun due to increased gravity.

The sun is a massive object as compared to the sun. It is assumed that the gravity must be a lot greater as well. It is the strong gravitational pull of the sun that keeps our planets from drifting off into space. No matter where you are the mass of an object will remain constant, so will the energy and the number of atoms they hold. 

The answer is gravity.
