What does the force of gravity on an object determine?
When you weigh yourself, the force of gravity is pulling you down to the scale. Therefore weight is determined by gravity.
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.
What is gravity what can determine the gravitational force between objects?
A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses
How can gravity be measured?
Gravity can be measured many ways. You can drop an object and observe how it falls and determine the objects acceleration. With that in hand you can then calculate the force required, and measure gravity that way. You can use a scale, and determine the force acting upon the object placed on it to compress the springs a certain distance, or deflect it a certain distance (depending on the scale's design). A pendulum can be used to measure gravity. The period of a pendulum is directly influenced by the magnitude of the accelerating force (gravity) you can measure altitude with a sensitive pendulum. As gravity is a force, any method you would use to determine the force of one object exerting upon another would work to measure gravity.
Identify the two factors that determine the force of gravity between two objects and how they impact force?
speed and velocity
What are the 5 examples of gravity?
Gravity is a force which, as far as we have been able to determine, operates everywhere in the universe and is felt by everything that has mass, so I am not sure why you think that there are exactly five examples of gravity. There are limitless examples of the functioning of gravity, but there is only one force of gravity.
What are two factors that determine the size of the force of the gravity?
-- the massses of the two masses that are being pulled together by gravity -- the distance between them
How could you determine buoyant force?
The bouyant force acts in an upward direction against gravity. It keeps things from sinking.
Who was the first astronomer to determine that gravity was an invisible force between objects on earth?
Isacc Newton
What are the variables that determine the force of friction between a wooden block and the surface on which it is resting?
Gravity is the only force of friction if it and the environment is at rest.
What two properties determine how strong of a force gravity will play on two objects?
The two properties that determine the force of gravity between two objects are the product of the masses (mM) and the square of the distance between the masses,r: F= GmM/r^2
What two factors determine the strength of the force gravity between two objects?
The force of gravity between any two objects depends on the mass of the first object and the distance of the second object.
