Why is gravity measured in N?

The weight of something is the force of gravity acting upon it's mass. That's why gravity is measured in Newtons, the force necessary to hold the mass up and resist the acceleration due to gravity. The units for Newtons are kg(m)/s^2.

Gravity is a force measured in Newton's (N)


The pull of gravity is measured in units by?

newton,(N)


Is gravity measured in grams?

gravity is weight and weight is measured in N (newtons). so, no, its not measured in grams. :) Actually, gravity is measured as acceleration and is 9.8 Meters/second/second or 32.2 feet/second/second. Weight is the effect felt BECAUSE of gravity.


Is force of gravity measured in nuton?

Yes, the force of gravity is typically measured in Newtons (N). It represents the gravitational attraction between two objects and is a measure of the amount of force that gravity exerts on an object.


Which units are used to measure the force of gravity on a object?

The force of gravity on an object is typically measured in Newtons (N).


What is the measure of gravity's force?

That depends on the mass, because Force=Mass x Acceleration. So the force due to gravity (in Newtons) is the mass of the object (kg) x 9.8m/s2 or (N/Kg)


What unit is used to express the pull of gravity?

Gravitational pull is a force and is measured in Newtons, the unit of force.


What is the basic SI unit of weight?

The Newton - weight is measured in force. mass*gravity = weight mass (kg) gravity (m/s^2) weight in (N)


What is gravity measure?

It is expressed in m/s2.


Is gravity measured in cubic centimeters?

No. First, gravity is a phenomenon not something you can measure. What you can measure is the force due to gravity which is measured in "Newtons" , or the acceleration due to gravity, which is measured in meters per second per second. I can't think of anything about gravity that would be measured in cubic centimeters, or cubic anything.


What is w equals mg?

W is the weight (or force of gravity) measured in Newtons (N), m is the mass of the object measured in kilograms (kg), and g is the acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second squared (m/s2), which is typically equal to -9.81 m/s2 above the Earth's surface.


What is the relationship between gravity and newtons?

Gravity is a force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it is commonly measured in newtons (N). Newtons are the unit used to quantify force, and in the case of gravity, it represents the amount of force with which an object is pulled towards the center of the Earth or any other massive body.
