Forces Mass, Weight, and Friction. Weight Weight: force of gravity on an object - on Earth your weight is a direct measure of the planet’s force pulling.

Forces and Friction. The weight of an object depends on the strength of gravity wherever the object is. The mass always stays the same.

Newton reasoned that there is a force of attraction between every two objects in the universe.

 Force Due to Gravity

What’s the difference between Mass and Weight?  Mass (m) is the amount of material an object is made from. Also, mass is the resistance to change in motion.  Mass is measured in Kilograms (kg)  Weight is the Force of Gravity applied to that object. Weight (F G ) is measured in Newtons (N).

What affects an object’s Weight?  Weight is a force, so it is determined by the:  Mass of the object.  Acceleration due to gravity where the object is located.  Force due to gravity is always directed towards the center of the Planet the object is on/near.

Calculating Weight of an Object  Since Weight is a force: F = ma So, F G = ma G F G = mg

Practice Problem 1  A 1.2 kg book is resting on a desk. What is the weight of the book? How much force must the desk apply to the book?

Practice Problem 2  How much force is required to lift a 20 kg block off of the ground?
