When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
What force causes an object to have weight?
force of gravity
The greater the mass of an object the greater the objects?
The greater the mass of an object means it causes to have weight in a gravitational field.
What happens when an object falls to the ground?
Its weight causes it to accelerate. That is in simple terms. When an object falls to the ground, it still has mass, it still has weight, and it has constant forces acting upon it, such as gravity.
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.

What force causes an object to have weight?

How does gravity make things fall?
The weight of the object causes gravity to take the object falling

Why does weight make things go faster?
Because the weight on the object is a force that is measured in newtons (N) and that is gravitational force x mass / mass x 10. Basically, the weight is pushed down on the object which causes the object to move slightly faster than it normally would.
What is the effect of buoyant force on the ability an object has to float?
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
What factor causes the difference between weight mass?
If you multiply an object's mass by the acceleration of gravity, g, you can determine its weight. If you know an object's weight and divide by g, you can determine its mass. g = 9.8 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2 (on Earth)
Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?
No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
What causes motion of an object?
Applied force to an object causes motion.
