What is the relationship between gravitational field strength and weight?.
- A.Weight is the mass multiplied by gravitational field strength
- B.Weight is the gravitational field strength multiplied by volume
- C.Weight is independent of gravitational field strength
- D.Weight is the gravitational field strength divided by mass
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Weight is the mass multiplied by gravitational field strength
Explanation
Why this works
Weight is defined as the force acting on an object due to gravity, which is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the gravitational field strength. Therefore, the correct option is that weight is the mass multiplied by gravitational field strength.
