What is Mass?
Amount of Matter stored in an object
What is the gravitational Field Strength?
a measure of gravitational force per unit mass at a given point
What is Weight?
Force acting on an object due to it’s Gravitational Field
What is the Gravitational Field Strength of the Earth?
9.8N/kg
What is the gravitational field strength of the moon?
1.6N/kg
What is the unit of gravitational Field Strength?
N/kg
What is the unit of Mass?
kg
What is the unit of weight?
N
Is weight a force?
Yes
why is the size of the planet directly proportional to the gravitational field strength?
Because as the size of the planet increases, the gravitational field strength also increases
How do you calculate Weight?
Mass X Gravitational Field Strength
How do you calculate the Gravitational Field Strength?
Weight/Mass
How do you calculate the mass using weight?
Weight/gravitational field strength
Why is the Mass directly proportional to the Weight?
Because as the mass increases, the weight also increases
What force is caused by Gravity?
Weight
