Gravity affects weight because gravity creates weight. Objects have mass, which is defined as how much matter an object contains. Weight is defined as the pull of gravity on mass.

The relation between weight and gravitational pull is such that, when on another celestial body, the difference in gravity would alter a person's weight. The Earth's moon, for example, has a gravitational field that is 0.165 times the pull on earth. A person who weighs 170 pounds on Earth would only weigh 28.05 pounds on the moon. This is why during the moon landing videos, people on earth viewed the astronauts taking large, bounding steps. With very little weight, it was easy for them to push off the ground.

Answer from: Quest

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
