ConcepTest 5.1aGravity and Weight I ConcepTest 5.1a Gravity and Weight I 1) F g is greater on the feather 2) F g is greater on the stone 3) F g is zero on both due to vacuum 4) F g is equal on both always 5) F g is zero on both always What can you say about the force of gravity F g acting on a stone and a feather?

The force of gravity (weight) depends on the mass of the object!! The stone has more mass, therefore more weight.
