Question

What is the force with which an object is attracted to earth?

Answer 1

It depends on its mass.    The force with which an object is attracted to earth can be restated in the famous equation Force = mass*acceleration(due to gravity) (F=ma)

Acceleration due to gravity is always constant...for every object.  Notice then that the only thing that can change in the about equation is "m"

This means that a piano will get pulled to the earth with a larger force than a penny.   The connecting factor here is that the objects will be pulled in a way that will result in them having an equal acceleration due to gravity (always constant remember)

Answer 2

9.8m

m=mass in kg

Answer 3

w(eight) = m*g = mass*acceleration due to gravity

g = approx 9.81 m/s^2 at sea level on Earth

the standard units of weight are the Newton (N, metric) and the pound (lb, English)
