Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
Is mass a measure of force of gravity acting on the object?
No. Mass is a characteristic that exerts a force of gravity on another mass. The measure of force is the Newton. The Newton uses mass as part of the factors that go into the calculation.
Weight is a measure of this force?
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
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.
Is weight measure of the force of gravity?
Weight is a measure of how the mass of an object responds to a gravitational force.
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.
Is weight actually measure of the force of gravity?
Weight is a measure of how the mass of an object responds to a gravitational force.
A measure of the force of gravity on an objectis called?
weight or mass
Is mass the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
Yes it is.
Is a pound a measure of mass?
No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
Is a measure of the gravitational force of an object?
The force (equal on both objects) is measured in newtons.
