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.
What part of an object is a measure of the force of gravity between earth and the object?
The object has mass, and the force of gravity gives that object weight, which is mass in a gravimetric field.
How is weight and mass different?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of force of gravity on an object
Is mass the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
Yes it is.
Is a measure of the gravitational force of an object?
The force (equal on both objects) is measured in newtons.
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.
The mass of an object times gravity is called?
The object's "weight".
EXPLAIN the difference between the mass of an object and the weight of an object No definitions?
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter.
How do the meaning of mass and weight differ?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. mass remains unaffected by gravity. weight is a measure of a gravitational pull on n object and is there for affected by gravity.
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity
A measure of how strongly gravity pulls on an object is the objects what?
The objects mass.
