What is a measure of the force that gravity exerts on an object?
In our daily life on Earth, we call that the object's "weight".
Is weight a measure of earth's pull of gravity?
Weight is what we call the amount of the gravitational force between the Earth and an object on the surface of the Earth. It works both ways. Your weight on the Earth is also the Earth's weight on you.
The force that gravity exerts on an object is called?
If the object is on or near the Earth's surface, then most people call that force the object's "weight". Nobody ever gives any attention to the gravitational force that the object exerts on the Earth, probably because it happens to be exactly the same as the object's weight on the Earth. The neat thing about it, however, is that the same force is also the Earth's weight on the object.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
weight

What do you call the pulling force that keeps us on the surface of the Earth?
Weight.
What is the force of gravity on a person of object at the surface of the earth?
That's the force we usually call the "weight" of the person or object.

What do you call the earth's watery surface?
hydrosphere
Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
How do you call the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure
What is the force F for 100gr mass?
You don't say anything about where the force comes from, so I have to make it up. IF the force is the result of gravitational attraction, and IF the mass is on or near the surface of the Earth, then the force on it is 0.98 newton (3.5 ounces), and we would call that its "weight".

What do you call an ocean current that flows beneath the surface of the earth?
Surface currents
What is the force of gravity on a 3500 g of an object?
You can convert that to kilograms (reminder: 1 kg = 1000 grams); then multiply by the value of the gravitational field, which near Earth's surface is about 9.8 newton/kilogram. This will give you the weight in newton.
