Weight, Force, Mass & Gravity | Forces & Motion | Physics | FuseSchool

In this video you will about weight, force, mass and gravity.
When it says 56 kilograms on your bathroom scales, what are you actually measuring?
Well, if you said weight, like most people would, then you are sort-of wrong!
Kilograms are a measure of mass, but the scales actually measure the force of gravity on your mass, so they do actually measure weight, but this should be in units of force, - Newtons. Confused?

Keep watching!

My teacher couldn't teach me this in an hour, and you've taught me this in like 7 minutes. BTW where's my "exam is tomorrow!!!" gang?

[khadija]

i love the fact that my teacher spent 1 hour 45 mins on this and i didnt get it but i understand it thanks to your 5 min video

[soundadvice]

This is great, will be using this for grade 6 today. Perfect!

[vnshika]

Thanks a lot :) ... The concept is well - explained in less time ... Very helpful !!

[alienplayz]

Thank you I understand most of it but my brother kept screaming so I couldn't hear it all XD

[nicebot]

how would you calculate the force of gravity on another planet and what experiments could. you
do?

[Angel_playz]

Thank You so much for this video, it cleared my concept and helped me a lot in my test, Thank You🙏🙏

Just a reminder you should be watching the video, not reading the comments. :)

[smrutinanavaty]

Thank You Sir. I am so inspired by your speaking skills. Great Video!!

Good job Fantastic fuse school keep doing all physics content like this and also do a video on frames of reference newton's laws please I love your videos please please

I have question concerning the free fall objects if you don’t mind
In vacuum; or in anywhere else in which air resistance is negligible; the objects are subjected to weight force only; thus having equal acceleration... But let’s think of it in this way ... if weight force is actually the force that acts on a mass due to gravity.. then object A of 1kg mass is subjected to 9.8N weight force and Object B of 10kg mass to 98N.. then upon neglecting air resistance; an object subjected to a 9.8 N and another to 98N actually have equal acceleration because of what ?? Greater mass, greater inertia needs greater weight force to regulate the acceleration??

Thank you sooo much... I really needed to understand this for my exams....love this channel... Love from Pakistan, 💓

[benpeace]

Thank you so much. It's very practical and interesting.

[animeclips_tv]

Thank you for helping me with my fonal test

[vandanachauhan]

This was really helpfullll
Understood this concept so well now without any confusion! Thank u !!

[lemon_boi]

thank you soo much this helped me with my school :)

Shop keeper: sir I don't think you've got enough cash for 1kg of potatoes

Physician: it only weights 0.2kg on moon

How do you value the 'mass' of a object? Does our atmosphere on the earth surface count? If yes, do we count? Sun is made out of mostly hydrogen, and we calculate it in a whole, so does it meant even one gram of air in the air just in front of us have it's own gravity? Even if we can just 'tear it apart' easily?

your videos are amazing i didnt understand it from other videos thanks a lot.

My teacher told me to watch this, it really helped:)
