Question
weight is a force that depends on mass and:
a. energy conservation.
b. gravity.
c. magnetism.
d. friction.
Weight is calculated using the formula \(W = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. Gravity is the factor that, along with mass, determines weight. Energy conservation is a principle related to the total energy in a system, magnetism is a force related to magnetic fields, and friction is a force that opposes motion. None of these (energy conservation, magnetism, friction) are directly related to the formula for weight like gravity is.
