Question

Complete this sentence. If the force of gravity ________, the weight of an object will _______________. decreases, increase increases, increase increases, stay the same decreases, stay the same

Answer 1

If the force of gravity increase the weight of an object will increases.

If the force of gravity decreases the weight of an object will decrease.

If the force of gravity stays the same the
weight of an object will stay the same.

Answer 2

Decrease, decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the product of mass times acceleration due to gravity.

W = m x g

where W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

If the force of gravity decreases then weight decreases. The force of gravity on moon is 60 times less than that on Earth; hence astronauts on moon experience weightlessness.
