No, it actually depends on the material and mass.

Is the force of gravity greater between two objects that have greater masses?
Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.
Does greater mass in an object have a higher resistance to a change in movement?
Yes. Force= mass times acceleration if mass is large the force is large.
Why doesnt the mass of most object cause a force large enough to move object toward each other?
it does, gravity just inhibits it most of the time.
Why does gravity stop when out of earth's atmosphere?
Gravity does not stop outside the Earth's atmosphere. Gravity's range is theoretically infinite, so you will never be free of its influence. Every object has gravitational attraction for every other object in the universe. The force of that attraction is greater for objects with greater amass, and is gets less as the distance between the two increases. The only way to not notice gravity's influence is to be in free fall. They you don't have anything opposing your movement toward the large attracting object (the earth) and you don't feel the attraction (the weight). As such weightlessness is experienced by astronauts in a spacecraft in orbit, so it is in free fall.
How does the gravitational force between objects that have small masses compared to the gravitational force between large objects?
The force of gravity exerted by an object is directly proportional to the mass of an object: it exerts this force on other matter, while the gravity of other matter also exerts a force.The formula is: F= G * m1m2/r squared - G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 masses, and r the distance between them (their centers of mass)Where, however, one object is much more massive, the acceleration induced by the larger object (e.g. Earth) is negligibly different for small objects of different mass, so that while the force is greater on larger objects, the accelerations are the same.
Is the force of gravity greater between two objects that have greater masses?
Gravity is greater between objects with large masses than between objects with small masses.
A boy pushing horizontally on a large heavy table why is it that the table does not move?
The mass of the object (force of gravity) and the frictional force of moving the table are greater than the horizontal force that the boy is exerting on the table... so it won't move
Which term is defined as the measure of the force of the gravity acting on the mass of a substance?
AnswerWeight is defined as the result of the gravitational force acting on an objects mass. In other words, there is an attractive force between the Earth an another object. The large the mass of the object the greater it's weight. This is because gravitational force increases when mass increases.
Gravity is a force which?
Every object has a (small) gravitational force that attracts other objects. The proportion of the Earth - human is so large that we sense this attraction force of the Earth. Gravity is the force which makes our feet stick to the ground!
Why does the moon have not much gravity?
Gravity decreases as size of the object decreases. Since the moon is not as large as say, the Earth, there is less gravity since the moon has less force.
Does greater mass in an object have a higher resistance to a change in movement?
Yes. Force= mass times acceleration if mass is large the force is large.
When a force is exerted on an object does a large force always produce greater change in the object's momentum than a smaller force does explain?
No this causes an unbalanced force or a balanced forceNO chizz you rape the poor person!
When the force of gravity is calculated using a large spherically symmetric mass like the Earth the distance is measured to the centre of the sphere why is this so?
Teh force of gravity is measured form the center of gravity, thus the center of gravity of the object is appropriately the center of the force. The center of the sphere is also the center of gravity of the sphere.
Why doesnt the mass of most object cause a force large enough to move object toward each other?
it does, gravity just inhibits it most of the time.
Is gravity the natural force that causes objects to move toward the center of the Earth?
yes on any object. Everything has some gravitational force, but the World is so large, making the force strong. That is why you would be lighter on the moon. The moon is smaller therefore less gravity, therefore you weigh less since weight is the amount of gravity acting on the object.
What is the universal force that causes every object to attract every other object?
Gravity or gravitation. The larger and (most importantly) more dense the object - the higher (or greater) the gravity. So gravity is a function of mass (which takes both density and size into account - since something which is very large but has low density) can have a much lower mass than something which is tiny but has a very high density. Rotation (spinning) and electrical charge can also play a significant role in determing the gravity of any object.
How can Gravity effectively change the force required to accelerate both a small mass and large mass objects to the same speed?
The force on a large mass is greater, but it requires a larger force to accelerate a larger mass so the aceleration becomes the same. Force = mass x acceleration. But force of gravity =mg, therefore mg =ma, so a=g.
