Weight is equivalent to the force due to gravity. To determine weight, you must know both the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity in the place that the object resides.
.
Weight = m * ag
.
where:
- m = the mass of the object
- ag = the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s2 on Earth at sea level)
.
If you know both the mass of the object and the mass and size of the planet the object is being weighed on, then you can calculate the force due to gravity (weight) as:
.
Weight = G * mo * mp / r2
.
where:
- G is the gravitational constant of the universe (6.67 * 10-11 m3kg-1s-2)
- mo is the mass of the object being weighed
- mp is the mass of the planet
- r is distance from the center of the planet to the center of the object

How much is an quarter coin worth?
In order to determine the estimated value of a quarter the date must be known.
If object A is inscribed in object B then what can be said about each?
Object B must be circumscribed about object A.
If object A is circumscribed about object B then what can be said about each?
.Object B must be inscribed in object A.
If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
What is the perimeter of 8?
the perimeter means the length around an object. so your perimeter around the object you have must be 8.
What two factors must be known to determine the velocity of an object in motion?
The object's speed and direction.
What point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object?
A reference point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object.
What does an object have to have for weight to act on it?
An object must have mass for there to be weight. There also must be another mass (such as Earth) that exerts a gravitational pull on the object for there to be weight.
What must you calculate to determine the accerleration of an object?
To determine the acceleration of an object, you must calculate its change in velocity per unit of time.
How much does a 1996 Johnson outboard motor weight?
In order to determine the weight of a 1996 Johnson, the model number, or at least the engine horsepower must be known.
What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?
The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
What is two thing must be present to measure an object weight?
The object itself and a scale.
What 4 questions must you determine if an object is a mineral?
big boy
For an object to sink in a fluid there must be an unbalanced force?
The weight of the fluid displaced has to equal the object's weight for the object to float. If there is not a balance between these two forces then the object will sink.
