2 | An object's weight is defined as the force due to gravity acting on the object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the ______________ due to gravity. | 3 | If an elevator is moving at a(n) __________________ velocity, a passenger inside will have an apparent weight which is equal in size to his actual weight. | 5 | When the ______________ force on an object is equal in size to the force due to gravity on the object, we say that the object's apparent weight is the same as its actual weight. | 6 | The _______________ weight of an object is just the support force acting on it. | 8 | An object's apparent weight is __________________ than its actual weight if the force due to gravity on the object is larger in magnitude than the support force on the object. | 9 | The force due to gravity acting on an object is always pointed downwards towards the _________________ of mass of the earth. | 11 | If an object is moving upwards or downwards at a constant velocity, its apparent weight is ___________________ in magnitude to its actual weight. |

Down: |
1 | An object's __________________ is equal to the force due to gravity acting on the object. | 2 | When an object is __________________ upward, its apparent weight is greater in magnitude than its actual weight because the support force acting on it must be greater in size than the force due to gravity on it. | 4 | When an object is accelerating _________________, its apparent weight is smaller in size than its actual weight because the force due to gravity on it must be greater in size than the support force acting on it. | 7 | An object's apparent weight is _______________ than its actual weight when it is accelerating upward. | 10 | If you increase the __________________ of the earth without changing your mass or the mass of the earth, your weight will decrease. |
