What is mass in terms of science?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that act on the object, such as the gravitational force :)
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
The amount of gravitational attraction on an object is known as?
force due to gravity
What is the scientific meaning of mass?
Mass is the measure of how much matter or "stuff" an object contains
What measure describes the amount of gravitational force of an object?
The measure that describes the amount of gravitational force of an object is its mass. Mass is a fundamental property of matter that determines the amount of gravitational force it exerts on other objects. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational force.
The amount of gravitational attraction between the earth and an object depends on the objects distance from the earth and what else?
The amount of gravitational attraction between the Earth and an object depends on the object's distance from the Earth and the masses of both the object and the Earth. The gravitational force decreases as the distance between the object and Earth increases, following the inverse square law.
A measure of the amount of matter in an object is its?
This would be an object's mass, which is related to the total number of molecules in the object. When considered in conjunction with gravitational pull, you are measuring the weight of an object (which in physics term is a force rather than a static measure).
Is mass a measure of gravity's pull on an object?
No, mass is the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. The force of gravity on an object depends on both its mass and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force.
Which property of matter is a measure of gravitational force?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is directly related to the gravitational force that object experiences. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts or experiences.
The amount of matter that makes up an object is called?
Mass!! Weight is the measure of how strongly gravity pulls an object, mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
What instrument measures the amount of gravitational attraction between Earth and an object at rest on Earth's surface?
scale
