What is the relationship between gravitational field strength and weight?.
- A.Gravitational field strength is the mass of an object.
- B.Weight is the gravitational field strength multiplied by mass.
- C.Gravitational field strength is the force of gravity on an object.
- D.Weight is independent of gravitational field strength.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Weight is the gravitational field strength multiplied by mass.
Explanation
Why this works
Weight (W) is defined as the force acting on an object due to gravity, which can be calculated using the formula W = m × g, where m is mass and g is gravitational field strength. This shows the direct relationship between weight and gravitational field strength.
