How much force is pulling down on a ball that has a mass of 2.3 kg?

On or near the surface of the Earth, the ball and the Earth are attracted toward
each other by equal forces of (2.3 x 9.8) = 22.54 newtons (5.07 pounds), and
they accelerate toward each other until they meet.

What is the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object?
mass of object *force of gravity
What force interacts when a bowling ball is picked up?
Gravitational force pulling the ball towards the center of the Earth, the normal force between your hands and the ball, and the force exerted on the ball to raise it against gravity; this is called gravitational potential force, which can be calculated to be the mass of the ball multiplied 9.8m/s2 and the height it is raised from it's initial place.
Are weight and mass similar?
Yes, very alike, but mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force of gravity pulling down on an object.

What are the physics involved in tractor pulling a sled?
When a tractor is pulling a sled there is the mass and gravity of both the tractor and sled slowing it down. There is also tension in the rope pulling the sled. whenever physics is involved to solve a force there is usually a frictional force acting on the objects. The formula to use is F=ma. The total mass is the mass of the objects put together and the total force is the force that the tractor is pulling at minus mg (mass x gravity) and minus the frictional force. The tension (T) is calculated using the formula T=W+ma (W=mgh), using only the mass of the sled.
What is the pulling force that causes mass wasting?
That force is known as gravity.
How does mass affects gravitational force?
Mass helps the gravitational force by pulling the object down
What is the force of gravity pulling on your mass measured in newtons?
weight
A ball weighs 18.0N. As it falls it encounters an air resistance force of 7.2N. What is the mass of the bullet. What is the size and direction of the net force acting on the ball?
We have 18N acting down and 7.2N acting up. 18-7.2 = 10.8N acting down The mass of the ball assuming it is on the Earth surface will be 18/9.8 = 1.84Kg
When gravity is pulling you downward when you sit is this balanced or unbalance force?
Force equals mass times acceleration, if you are sitting at rest you are not accelerating, so your acceleration is zero. The force is your mass times zero, 75 kg x 0 ms-2= 0 newtons. If the force is zero, this means the force of gravity pulling you down is cancelled out by the force of the chair pushing you up. So the forces are balanced.
Why will weight be different on planets?
Weight is a result of the Earth pulling us down. The force we are pulled down is dependent on Earth's mass, so on another planet (with a different mass) one would be pulled down in a different manner.
What does pulling force mean?
There are absolutely no such things as "pulling" forces. Force = mass x Acceleration --- F = mA That physically means that "the mass" is Accelerating (moving). That physically and absolutely means that the mass can only push. "Pulling" is simply "Pushing" on the inside of any attached grip to any piece of mass.
