    Key Questions:

    1. What is weight?
      • The Force due to gravity.
    2. What is the difference between weight and gravity?
      • Gravity is an attraction between objects of mass. Weight is the Force due to gravity.
    3. How is the weight of an object increased?
      • The weight of an object will increase if the mass of the object is increased.
    4. How is the weight of an object increased?
      • The weight of an object will increase if the gravitational pull on the object is increased.
    5. What is gravitational pull also measured as?
      • The gravitational pull is measured as gravitational field strength.
    6. What is the calculation for weight?
      • Weight = mass x gravitational field strength (g).
    7. What sort of force is produced by gravity?
      • gravity produces a non-contact Force
