Gravity and Motion

Question 1 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

In addition to how much force Earth exerts on the object, which features of an object affect its weight?

Answer
A
mass and location of the object
B
shape and location of the object
C
location of the object and how much energy the object has
D
mass of the object and how much energy the object has

Explanation

An object's weight is the gravitational force acting on it. It depends on the object's mass and the strength of gravity at its location, so the correct choice is “mass and location of the object.” Shape and energy do not determine weight.
