Answer:
The gravitational force on a mass is its weight. We can write this in vector form, where
→
w
is weight and m is mass, as
→
w
=
m
→
g
.
In scalar form, we can write
w
=
m
g
.
Since
g
=
9.80
m/s
2
on Earth, the weight of a 1.00-kg object on Earth is 9.80 N:
w
=
m
g
=
(
1.00
kg
)
(
9.80
m/s
2
)
=
9.80
N
