What is weight in physics? Definition:
0:03
Weight in physics is the force with
0:05
which the Earth or any celestial body
0:07
pulls an object toward its center due to
0:10
gravity. Explanation: Weight depends on
0:12
both the mass of an object and the local
0:15
gravitational acceleration. It changes
0:18
with the strength of gravity, meaning it
0:20
is different on the moon, Earth or other
0:23
planets. Mass however stays constant
0:27
everywhere. Imagine, think of holding a
0:30
brick on Earth and then taking it to the
0:32
moon. The brick's mass remains the same,
0:35
but it feels much lighter on the moon
0:37
because gravity is weaker there. In
0:40
simple terms, weight is simply how heavy
0:42
something feels because of gravity
