The force of gravity causes objects to accelerate (speed up) when they fall. This is because of newtons law F=MA force equals mass times acceleration, meaning when you put a force such as gravity on a mass it will accelerate the mass

Does mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?
Yes mass affects the gravitational acceleration between objects. But air resistance doesn't affect the gravitational acceleration, it only affects the net acceleration of the objects concerned. According to Newton's Law of Gravitation the gravitational force between two or more objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
How are weight and gravitational force related?
Weight is (acceleration due to gravity) x mass Gravitational force= GM1M2/r2
Why is acceleration due to gravity 9.8 meter per second square?
That is because Earth attracts objects with a certain force (through gravitation). If the gravitational force were more, the acceleration would be more. If the gravitational force were less, the acceleration would also be less.
What 2 things affect the gravitational force exerted by objects?
The two things that affect the gravitational force is Mass and Distance.
What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?
No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.
What is the relation connecting acceleration and gravitational force?
The same as the relation between acceleration and any other force. Force = (mass) x (acceleration) If the force happens to be gravitational, then the acceleration is down, and the formula tells you the size of the acceleration. If the acceleration is down and there are no rocket engines strapped to the object, then it's a pretty safe bet that the force is gravitational, and the formula tells you the size of the force.
What determines the size of gravitational force?
The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)
How is gravitational force and mass related?
Gravitational force F = mass x g where g is the gravitational acceleration.
Does the weight of the stones affect the gravitational acceleration?
No.

What is the mathematical relationship between force and acceleration?
Force in Newtons = mass in kilograms * acceleration ( can be gravitational acceleration )F = maThe mathematical relationship between force and acceleration is directly proportional.
How does the moons gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
does the moon's gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
