What do you mean.If u mean gravitational force then gravitational force never changes in physics it is consider -9.8N the negative meaning downward and (N) meaning newtons, which is a force. Yet if you mean weight then that would be F=MA which is force equals mass x acceleration and in a free body digram that doesn't have a natural force or tension or in other words free falling then the force acting on it would be the kilograms which is represent as mass x the acceleration which would be represented as gravity. that would give you the force downward. which coincidently is your weight.

Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
Yes, an object at rest can have forces acting on it. The vertical forces acting on an object at rest would include gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from a surface pushing it upward to balance the force of gravity.
What is another force acting on an object?
gravity
Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
No, acceleration is not directly proportional to weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while acceleration depends on the net force acting on the object, which can be influenced by factors other than weight, such as friction or applied forces.
How is weight related to gravitational force?
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass, meaning that the greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force acting on it. In simpler terms, weight is the result of the Earth's gravitational pull on an object's mass.
Is mass x gravity equal to an objects acceleration?
Not quite. The product of an object's mass and acceleration gives the force acting on the object (F=ma). On the other hand, an object's weight, which is the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity, represents the gravitational force acting on the object.
