Gewichtskraft
Sign in to saveAlso known as gravitational weight
durch die Wirkung eines Schwerefeldes verursachte Kraft auf einen Körper
Weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object, pulling it downward toward Earth or another large body like a planet or moon. It matters because understanding weight helps us measure how much force gravity applies to objects, which is essential for everything from building structures that won't collapse to designing spacecraft that can escape Earth's pull.

Die Gewichtskraft, auch Gewicht, ist die durch die Wirkung eines Schwerefeldes verursachte Kraft auf einen Körper. Im rotierenden Bezugssystem eines Himmelskörpers (wie dem der Erde) setzt sich dieses Schwerefeld aus einem Gravitationsanteil und einem kleinen Zentrifugalanteil zusammen. Die Gewichtskraft ist lotrecht nach unten gerichtet, was im Schwerefeld der Erde beinahe, aber nicht exakt, der Richtung zum Erdmittelpunkt entspricht. Als Formelzeichen wird meist oder verwendet. Die SI-Einheit für die Gewichtskraft ist das Newton (N).
