Worked practice questions

An object weighs less on Mars than on Earth because Mars has what?

  1. A lighter object
  2. Weaker gravity there
  3. Thicker air there
  4. Stronger gravity there
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Weaker gravity there

1. Weight is the pull of gravity on an object. 2. Gravity is weaker on Mars, so the pull and the weight are less. 3. The mass of the object itself is unchanged. _Source: Wikipedia, Mass versus weight, Lead section_

What is the SI unit of force, in which weight is truly measured?

  1. Kilogram
  2. Newton
  3. Litre
  4. Metre
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Newton

1. Weight is a force. 2. The SI unit of force is the newton. 3. The kilogram measures mass, the litre measures volume and the metre measures length. _Source: Wikipedia, Mass versus weight, Overview_

Close to the Earth's surface, a 1 kg object weighs about how many newtons?

  1. 1.0
  2. 9.81
  3. 19.6
  4. 0.1
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 9.81

1. Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. 2. On Earth this strength is about 9.81 newtons per kilogram. 3. So 1 kg weighs about 9.81 N. The value 1.0 ignores gravity. _Source: Wikipedia, Mass versus weight, Lead section_
