Yes.
According to Newton's Second Law, force is the product of mass and acceleration. F=m*a
The acceleration for every massive object is the same near the earth's surface, regardless of its mass. This is why two objects will hit the ground at the same time, even if they have different mass, as long as air resistance isn't a problem.
One way to think about it is this: heavier objects have more inertia, so gravity has to use more force to get it to move at the same acceleration as a lighter object.

∙ 13y agoThe gravitational force on an object increases as its mass increases. Force of gravitation on an object is directly proportional to its mass.
So if the mass of object is doubled then force of gravitation on it also doubles.

∙ 12y agoIt increases exponentionally, because the heavier the objest is the more gravity it has.also i haye science

∙ 10y agoWhen the mass increases, gravity increases as well. The force of gravity is proportional to each of the masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The force of gravity is greater between two objects that?
That have greater mass.
What is gravity greater then?
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 meters per second. Since Force = Mass x Acceleration, the force of gravity would be the mass times 9.81.
Do larger objects have a greater force of gravity at the earths surface?
I think what you're trying to get at is "How big does an object have to be to have gravity?" which is different from "gravitation". Gravitation is something that everything has, big or small. It is the attraction that all objects exert on one another. Gravity, on the other hand, is specifically the force that a massive object exerts on other objects.
How does the force of gravity affect the relationships among space objects?
Objects float in space because there is no gravity to pull the objects down. While on earth there is gravity so it pulls the objects to the ground.
What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
What two things control the force of gravity between two objects?
The masses of the objects and the distance between them determines the force of gravity between them. The more massive and closer together they are, the greater the force of gravity.
What controls the force of gravity between two objects?
The mass of the two objects and the distance between them control the force of gravity between them. The equation for the force of gravity between two objects is Fg=(GMm)/R2, so if two objects are very massive, the force will be greater, and if two objects are very close the force will be greater. The force of gravity is directly related to the mass of the objects and inversely related to the distance between them.the earth
What two factors make gravity wearker or stronger?
Two factors that make gravity weaker or stronger are mass and distance. A more massive object has a greater force of gravity than a less massive object, and the closer two objects are increases the gravitational force between them.
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 very massive object A and a less massive object B move toward each other under the influence of gravitation Which force if either is greater?
If gravity is moving the objects toward each other, a massive body (i.e. the earth) will be in the way. If the objects are at the same ditance from this body, a greater force is exerted on object A.
The force of gravity is greater between two objects that?
That have greater mass.
What makes gravity increase?
The force of gravity increases with mass. The more massive a body is, the larger the force of gravity it will produce.
What are the 2 forces involved in sinking and floating?
Gravity is pulling down, and Buoyancy is pushing up. When the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, objects sink. When the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, objects float.
What are objects separated by if it has less force of gravity?
To reduce the force of gravity for any given pair of objects, the objects must be at a greater distance from each other.
Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?
The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.
Why does earth exert a greater gravitational force on you than other objects do?
Because it's both massive and close by. Newton's law of gravitation states that gravity becomes stronger the more massive the object, and the closer it is.
How do mass of the objects affect the force of gravity?
The greater the mass, the stronger the gravity, but the distance does not affect the amount of gravity.
