Does gravity have an affect on mass?
No. Mass (e.g. grams) is a measure of matter, and is independent of gravity. Weight (e.g. pounds) is a measure of force and is directly related to gravity.
Does Gravity affect Matter?
Yes.
What does matter have when it is pulled by gravity?
weight
What is the force with which gravity pulls on a quantity of matter is reffered to as?
The force with which gravity pulls on a quantity of matter is referred to as gravity.
Does gravity affect weight?
Yes it affects weight, but not mass.
What kinds of motion does gravity affect?
weight
What is gravity and how does it affect matter?
Gravity is a force between any two masses.
Can friction or acceleration due to gravity affect the weight of an object?
Friction and acceleration due to gravity do not directly affect the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on the object, which is independent of these factors. However, friction can affect the apparent weight of an object on a surface by opposing the force of gravity.
Is a mass or weight determined by gravity?
[ Mass ] is a property of the object, and doesn't depend on the presence or strength of gravity.[ Weight ] is the result of gravity, and changes depending on the local strength of gravity.
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects an object's weight, which is the force of gravity acting on its mass. The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its weight can change depending on the strength of gravity. In areas with stronger gravity, objects will weigh more compared to areas with weaker gravitational pull.
Does all matter have weight?
Yes, but it's important to understand the difference between weight and mass. Matter has mass without gravity. Gravity pulls objects with mass toward the center of the earth, giving them weight.
How will gravity affect the weight and mass of an object?
Gravity affects weight but not mass. Think of mass as the "stuff" an object is made of or the amount of matter it has. That does not change just because the force of gravity changes. However, weight IS affected by changes in gravity. That is why you will weigh about six times less on the moon than you do on Earth. The moon's force of gravity, or acceleration, is about 6.05 times less than Earth's. So, your physical make-up (mass) has not changed but your weight has.
