Question

Which of the following best describes weight?

Answer 1

Answer:

What best describes the concept of weight is the force on an object due to its mass and gravity.

Explanation:

Weight is the force with which gravity pulls a body or object towards the earth. It is a physical unit that involves both the force of gravity and the mass that an object has.

In general, the terms mass and weight are different, being the mass a characteristic of the body -without influence of other factors- and the weight is the force with which the gravity pushes the mass of that same body.

Regarding the other options:

• The amount of space an object takes up , corresponds to the volume of a body.
• The amount of matter in an object , corresponds to the mass.
• The force on an object due to its speed and location, is related to the movement of a body.
