Mass and Weight

Suppose you observe a 1-kg object accelerating at the rate of 9.8 m/s².  You know that a force of 1($) N must be accelerating the object.  This acceleration of 9.8 m/s² is the acceleration that occurs when an object is released near the 2($) of the earth-the acceleration of 3($).  Thus, the 4($) of gravity on a 1-kg object is 9.8 N.  We say that a 1-kg object 5($) 9.8 newtons

Match terms with definitions

• 1($) is a force that is due to the earth's pull of gravity
• 2($) is a measure of the inertia possessed by an object

1. How much will its acceleration be? 1($)
2. How much is the force that causes the acceleration? 2($)
3. How much is the weight of the object? 3($)
