Weight A measure of the gravitational

Weight A measure of the gravitational attraction of the earth for a body. 

Weight A measure of the gravitational attraction of a body. Often used synonymously (but incorrectly) with mass. See also Mass. 

Weight. A measure of the force exerted on a body of mass M by the gravitational attraction of the earth. The magnitude of this force is... 

The equivalence principle is the cornerstone of general relativity. This principle states that the weight of any object is proportional to its inertial mass. This is quite amazing. A brick has an inherent property called its inertial mass the brick s weight, which is in direct proportion to its gravitational mass, is a measure of the gravitational attraction between it and the Earth. The equivalence principle asserts that these two masses, inertial and gravitational, are identical. Does antimatter obey the equivalence principle Simply put, physicists do not know. 

Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object. 

Weight A measure of the force of gravitational attraction between an object and a significandy large object, such as the earth or the moon. 

The surface gravity, g0, is a measure of the weight of a person on the planet determined by the mass of the planet and the gravitational constant G (Figure 7.2) according to ... 

Mass— A measure of the amount of matter in a sample of any substance. Mass does not depend on the strength of a planet s gravitational force, as does weight. 

Probably the most basic of all measurements in a chemistry laboratory are those of mass and volume. Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter as indicated by its weight, or the effect of the gravitational force on the mass. For example, the mass of our body is measured whenever we step onto a bathroom scale. Volume is a measure of how much space a quantity of matter occupies. In the kitchen, when a recipe calls for two cups of milk, the reference to two cups is a reference to the volume of the milk needed. 

Discuss the changes in the force of gravitation and in the weight of a substance with change of locality. Note, weight is nothing more than a measure of the force of gravitation.
