All objects near the Earth's surface regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them True or false?

False. The question says "... regardless of size and weight ...", but it is weight that is the force of gravitybetween the object and the earth. So when the weight is different, the force is different, by definition.


Does size effect speed?

If gravity is the only force on a falling object, then nothing about the object has any influence on its speed ... not its size, weight, color, shape, age, religion, or gender identification. Nothing. Two objects dropped from the same height at the same time hit bottom at the same time, and it doesn't matter what's different about them. That's Physics. The problem is that it's very hard to demonstrate this on Earth, because it's very hard to drop two objects where gravity is the only force on them. Falling objects are always falling through air, and the air has a big effect on how they behave. In air, their weight, size, and shape do affect how they fall ... a big part of the reason why all airplanes have very similar shapes.


Does gravity have an effect on objects of different sizes?

Gravity has an effect on all objects, including objects of different shapes and sizes.


Does mass or weight depend on a objects location?

Yes. Weight does.


What is the difference in an objects weight on earth than on the moon?

On Earth there is gravity pulling objects down and adding weight. On the moon there is no gravity so objects are weightless.

What effect does shape have on the density of objects made of the same materials?

It has no effect. Only mass and volume have an effect on density.


The weight of an object is based on what?

Its mass and the gravity of the objects that are close enough to it to have a great effect on it.

Does the mass of an object affect its weight after its shape has been altered?

The mass always affects the weight. But the same mass always hasthe same weight, regardless of its shape.-- Notice that there is no 'shape' term in the formula for weight:Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) -- A 50kg woman and a 50kg sack of potatoes have the same weight,even though one of the objects has a better shape.


The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?

The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object


Why do objects with more have greater weight?

weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N


How does the weight of the parts that make up an object compare to the weight of the object?

to find the answer what you need to do is use a scale to measure how much the both objects shape that is how you can find your answer.


Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?

weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N


What are the main rules of mime?

1. Never Speak. 2. Keep all objects same size, weight and shape.


How do different sized and weight objects settle in water?

Objects which are less dense than water will float. Objects denser than water will float or sink depending on the volume of water that they displace and that will depend on their shape.


How is shape and design important in deciding if an object will float?

Shape and design control the space throughout which the objects weight is distributed. If all the weight is in one cpot, like a wooden ball, the the ball will sink, as it easily displaces the water. If the wood is instead in the shape of a board, then the weight is spread out, allowing it to float easier.


What is the orbital shape of Pluto?

The orbital shape of Pluto is an ellipse, a conic section, although it is not perfectly precise because of the effect of gravity from other objects besides itself and the Sun.
