Gravity exists wherever there is a body, whatever the mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravity.

What determine how much gravity something has?

An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.


What detirmines how much pull gravity has in an object?

mass of the object pulling


What is the relationship mass and the force of gravity?

Mass is a measure of how much matter something has. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on that mass. So an object that weighs 1kg on Earth would weigh less on the Moon which has less gravity even though the mass of the object is constant. The relationship is: Force of gravity on an object in a certain place = (object's mass) x (acceleration of gravity in that place) .


How much gravity an object exerts is dependent upon its?

Mass.


How much an object weighs depends on its mass and the force of?

Gravity.


Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?

Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.


Is the amount of matter in an object weight?

No, weight is how much gravity is pulling down on an object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.


Does planet Mars have gravity?

Yes it does but not as much as earth does. Every object that has mass also has gravity.


Compare and contrast mass and weight?

mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on an object mass x gravity = weight


When does an object with twice as much mass as another weigh twice as much?

Weight = mass x gravity. Therefore, this will happen as long as gravity doesn't change.


Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?

The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.


Does mass vary according to the force of gravity?

No, mass does not vary according to the force of gravity. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight, however, is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object; as such, weight varies according to gravitational field strength.
