1.3.10 - Gravitational field strength and weight

Objective

- Gravitational field strength and weight

Use gravitational field strength g = F/m and weight W = mg.

Use - gravitational field strength and weight to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - gravitational field strength and weight determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - gravitational field strength and weight to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Gravitational field strength and weight is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
