What two things affect or determine the amount of gravity in an object?

Gravity is an attractive forces between any 2 objects. The strength of the attraction is proportional to the mass of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. That is to say that gravity is stronger between larger objects and gets weaker as the 2 objects get farther apart.

How are weight and mass diffrent?
Weight is how great or small the affect of gravity is on an object, whereas mass is the amount of physical particles in an object.
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
What is the amount of force with which gravity pulls down an object?
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
What is the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object?
mass of object *force of gravity
What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.

How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.

What is the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object?
mass of object *force of gravity
What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
How does mass determine the force of gravity of an object in space such as the earth or moon?
Mass doesn't change when gravity is applied. Mass: The amount of matter in an object VS. Weight: The force of gravity on an object. Example: A cow is 800 kg on Earth, and 800 kg on the moon because you are not changing what the cow is made of.
What are 2 factors that determine how much gravity there is between 2?
The two factors are the amount of mass an object has and the distance between the two objects.
What is the amount of mass is in an object is it it's weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.
How does gravity affect object of different mass?
Depending on the greater or less the mass is gravity's affect on the object is not applicable as gravity is a never ending motion which does nothing but keep objects intact on planets.
Is the weight of an object due to the gravity on it?
It is due to the amount of mass the object has.
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
How does gravity affect a catapult?
Gravity pulls down the object catapulted and brings it to the ground.
