Which force accounts for the difference between mass and weight?

d
Gravitational force

1 answer

The correct answer is d) Gravitational force.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. The force of gravity is what causes objects to have weight and it varies with the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational field it is in.
