Question

the magnitude of the force of gravity acting on an object is
a. mass.
b. inertia.
c. frictional force.
d. weight.

Explanation:

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, not the force of gravity acting on it.
• Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
• Frictional force is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.
• Weight is defined as the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as \(W = mg\) (where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity).

Answer:

d. weight
