The force with which the Earth attracts an object is called :
A.Weight of the object✓ Correct
B.Mass of the object
C.Density of the object
D.Magnitude of the object
Explanation
The gravitational force with which the Earth attracts an object is defined as the weight of the object, given by W = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Weight is a force measured in newtons. Mass is the amount of matter in the object (measured in kg), density is mass per unit volume, and 'magnitude' is not a physical property of an object.
