What is the difference between the equation for force and the equation for weight?

There are many equations for force, depending on the setup, the machinery,
the origin of the force, etc.
The equation for weight is one of them. It's the right one to use when the origin
of the force is mutual gravitational attraction between two masses.
<><><><><>
The force acting on an object is mass times acceleration.
The weight acting on an object is the force of gravity, and is G (the universal gravitational constant, about 6.67 x 10-11 N (m/kg)2) times mass1 times mass2 divided by distance squared. This is normally expressed in newtons, but if you normalize to G and mass2 you discover that the force due to gravity is the same as mass1.

What is the basic metric unit of weight?
Weight is the mutual gravitational force between the earth and any object on it.The basic unit of force is the Newton .
What is the gravitational force acting upon an astronaut when lifting off?
The actual gravitational force on the astronaut ... the force attracting him to themass of the earth ... is exactly the same as it always is, and is equal to his weight.But ... he feels as if there's more force on him, as if his weight has increased.That's because he's accelerating aboard the launch vehicle, and there's no wayto tell the difference between the force of gravity and the force of acceleration.
What is the equation you use to determine for momentum?
The equation is force multiplied by accelaratin
Whats the equation for mass?
One equation is Force/acceleration=mass
How can the equation force mass x acceleration be rewritten?
Equation: Force=Mass X Acceleration If you are looking for the force, use the equation as is. To find the following, it's assumed that you are given the other two values: Mass= Force / Acceleration Acceleration= Force / Mass Remember your labels in your calculations.
What is the difference between thrust and weight?
force applies perpendicularly is called thrust force which earths exerts on objests is weight
What is the difference between weight and fat?
Weight is the force that gravity pulls down on an object.Fat is a nutrient.
Does the bouyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object?
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
What is the difference between weight and presssure?
Weight is a force (measured in Newton). Pressure is force per unit area (measured in Newton / meter2, also known as Pascal).
What is the difference between mass and weight explain?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
What is the difference between mass and weigth?
mass refers to the just measuring how much the object is or simply the quantity of matter contained in it weight refers to the measuring of the object with respect to the gravitational pull... we have the equation (netwton's law) force=mass*acceralation(a) weight =mass*gravitaional pull(constant)
Relate True weight Buoyant force and Apparent weight?
it is the gravity of difference buoyat force
Is there a difference between a person's mass and their weight?
yes, mass is the amount of stuff you are made of, it does not change, weight depends on the force of gravity, which is why you weigh less on the moon.
What is the difference between g and N on the balance readout?
"g" is the measure of the weight in grams and "N" is the measure of the force in Newtons.
What is the difference between mum and dads weight if mum weighs 62.5kg and dad weighs 79kg?
The difference between mum and dad's mass is 16.5 kg. The difference in their weight will be approx 161.7 Newtons on the surface of the Earth. Because their weights will depend on the force of gravity acting on them it is not possible to be precise about the difference.
What is the difference between the input force and output force?
The difference between and input force and an output force is that an output force is force exerted by a machine, and an input force is force exerted on a machine.
