  3. The weight of an object is the force exerted on it due to gravity. It is calculated as the product of the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity, expressed as weight = mass × g.

  4. The motion of objects that fall towards the Earth under the influence of gravity alone is called "free fall." During free fall, the only force acting on the object is gravity.

  5. No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of its location (Earth, Moon, or outer space). Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, unlike weight, which varies with gravitational force.
