   Weight
   In a neural network, the strength of a synapse (or connection) between two neurons. Weights may be positive (excitatory) or negative (inhibitory). The thresholds of a neuron are also considered weights, since they undergo adaptation by a learning algorithm.

   Weight
   The 'heaviness' of an object, the amount of attraction between two or more masses. Weight is often measured in Kilogrammes but the proper (SI) unit of weight is the Newton. Weight is not the same as mass which is a measure of how much matter or inertia an object has. Weight on the other hand is dependant on two or more masses and is a measure of the force of gravity acting on those two objects. For example, an astronaut will experience weightlessness in space because he is distant (though not entirely free) from the Earth's gravitational influence. His mass however will still be the same as it would be on Earth. He is just as massive as he was before - but he weighs little or nothing!

   Weight
   The weight of a object is the result of gravity pulling a mass toward earth. When a balance has been calibrated using a known mass then any unknown mass placed upon the scale will have a weight proportional to the known mass. The units gram and kilogram are often used to describe the weight of on object. It is common for mass and weight to be used interchangeably. A weight can also be any mass that is used, for example to put a weight on the scale.

    Weight
    The support force needed to maintain an object at rest relative to a reference system. For inertial systems, the weight is sometimes taken to be the force of attraction of the Earth for an object. See also: Mass.
