An object's weight is dependent upon its location in the universe. Why is this true?

Physics

Explanation :

We know that the weight of an object is given by :

W=mg

Where,

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g changes from one location to another.

An object's weight is dependent upon its location in the universe. This statement is true. This is because g varies in different places so the weight also varies.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " This is true because weight is the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an object, and since gravitational force varies in different places in the universe, weight also varies ".

Because an object's weight is the measure of the gravitational
forces between the object and other things that have mass. 

In its travels around the universe, the object can be in the
neighborhood of other things with huge mass or tiny mass,
and it can be nearer to them or farther away from them.  So
the gravitational forces between the object and other things
can have widely different values in different places.

Read the choices very carefully. 
I think 'D' is the one that says this.

Which of the following describes the effect of a convex mirror on light rays?
natulia [17]
B. It reflects light rays outward.

A convex mirror looks like this ⊂.  So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards,  and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.

If a builder of mass 75kg climbs a vertical ladder of 25m how much energy has she gained ?
erica [24]
So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.

An airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2 000 m. (this is a very dangerous thing to do because of updrafts,
tester [92]
It is given that an<span> airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2000 m.
</span><span>
Since the parity of charges is opposite and the airplane lies between the two charges and both the electric fields are in the same direction at the plane. Therefore, the magnitudes of the electric field at the aircrafts will add up.
Now, check the image to see the calculations:
