How would you find the mass of an object by math?
-- Measure the force of attraction between the object and the earth. ("WEIGH" the object.)-- Divide the force by the acceleration of gravity.-- The answer is the mass of the object.
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.
What is a measure of the amount of gravitational attraction on an object?
Mass to the object.
Is mass a measure of the gravitational force of a object?
No, mass is the measure of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of gravitational force needed to keep the object grounded.
Will have the greater force of gravitational attraction?
The force exerted is dependent on the mass of the object.
How is measurment of weight different form measurment of mass?
Weight is essentially the measure of the force of attraction (due to gravity) between two objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object has.
What happens to the force of attraction if one of the masses of the object double?
The force too gets doubled as force is proportional to the mass of each object.
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 part of an object is a measure of the force of gravity between earth and the object?
The object has mass, and the force of gravity gives that object weight, which is mass in a gravimetric field.
Is weight measure of the force of gravity?
Weight is a measure of how the mass of an object responds to a gravitational force.
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.
What is the measure of the earth's gravitational attraction?
A single object doesn't have a gravitational attraction. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of both of their masses. So the force between the earth and any other object ... like a person ... depends on the mass of the person, just as much as it depends on the earth's mass. You can't tell the strength of the earth's attraction of an object until you know the object's mass. (In other words, you don't know how much a person on earth will weigh until you know something about the person.)
