How does the gravitational field strength relate to the weight of an object?.
- A.Gravitational field strength is equal to weight
- B.Weight is the product of mass and gravitational field strength
- C.Gravitational field strength is independent of mass
- D.Weight is the gravitational field strength divided by mass
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Weight is the product of mass and gravitational field strength
Explanation
Why this works
The formula for weight is W = m x g, where W is weight, m is mass, and g is gravitational field strength. This shows that weight is directly proportional to both mass and gravitational field strength.
