The mass of a particle is its reluctance for its velocity or path to be changed. According to Newton a force of 1 newton applied to a mass of 1 k will give it an acceleration of 9.9 meters pr sec2. This is approximately the acceleration due to gravity at sea level. According to Einstein mass slows time around it. This has the affect of bending space time around a massive object i.e. the sun or the earth. When a particle is attracted by a mass it is simply trying to go in the straightest line possible in curved space time.
What else can I help you with?
Does mass mean the same as gravity?
No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.
Do the sombrero have gravity?
I assume you mean the sombrero galaxy. It is a galaxy, hence it has mass, hence it has gravity. If you mean a "sombrero" as in hat, it also has mass and therefore gravity. The gravity, in each case, can be calculated via the gravitational formula.
Mass and the force of gravity have a direct relationship what does this mean?
This means that the force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. Objects with greater mass experience a stronger force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth.
Why does the sun have more gravity?
If you mean more than Earth, it has more mass. Twice the mass will cause twice the amount of gravity (at the same distance).
Do nebulae change gravity?
Not sure what you mean by "change gravity"; a nebula has mass, therefore it exerts a gravitational force.
What is another word for force of the earth?
I believe is gravity. I mean is not only of the earth, every body of mass has gravity. But I believe that it is gravity if it was a general question. !
Does the centre of gravity change on moon?
As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.
What does mass mean in weighing?
The weight is the mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. When weighing an object by a balance the acceleration of gravity is on both sides of weighing and hence canceling its effect and hence you get the object mass (not the weight)..
Gravity and how mass effects it?
gravity and how mass is effected by it
What is the mass and force of gravity?
Gravity is a force but has no mass.
Does gravity depend on mass or weight?
Gravity depends on the mass of an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. So, weight depends on both an object's mass and the strength of gravity acting on it.
Does mass determine the force of gravity?
You're on to it! Gravity appears to be a property of mass. No mass - no gravity. But exactly what gravity is we don't yet know.
