a change in gravitational force affects weight. The correct answer is: c. Weight
The gravitational force is given by the law of universal gravitation
F = [tex]G \frac{M m}{r^2}[/tex]
where F is the force, G the constant of universal attraction, M and m the mass of the two bodies, r the distance between the bodies
In the case that a body is lying on the surface of the planet, the distance is the radius of the planet, in this case the radius of the Earth
r = R_e
F = [tex]G \frac{M m}{R_e^2}[/tex]
For convenience we can define a new variable called acceleration of gravity (g)
g = [tex]G \frac{M}{R_e^2}[/tex]
we substitute
F = g m
This amount is called body weight, so a change in gravitational force creates a change in weight, therefore the correct answer is: C Weight
In conclusion a change in gravitational force affects weight, therefore the correct answer is: c. Weight
