- **Weight** ($\vec{W}$) is the attraction between a mass and a planet. Its vector always points toward the planet.

- **Weight** ($\vec{W}$) is the attraction between a mass and a planet. Its vector always points toward the planet. The magnitude of weight is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration due to gravity ($mg#).

- **Electromagnetic forces** ($\vec{F_M}$ and $\vec{F_E}$) are not covered in this course.
