Probably newton...
Since force is newton.
& if its not "newton" then its momentum.

How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
What object exerts more gravitational force a object with a mass of 25 grams and a density of 21grams or an object with a mass of 55 grams and a density of 0.5g?
Which object exerts more gravitational force, object A with a mass of 25 grams and a density of 2 g/cm3 or object B with a mass of 55 grams and a density of 0.5 g/cm3? Gravitational force is dependant on the mass and the mass alone. Object B mass 55 g will exert a force on say a mass of 1g at a say 1 meter over twice that of object A . In the gravitational field of earth one would weigh 55g and the other 25g As the gravitational force between two masses is is G X (M1 X M2)/R2 where R is the distance between them there is will be an attractive force between the two objects that that acts on both objects. In the absence of any other forces they will move towards each, g the 25 g object accelerating more quickly.
The acceleration of falling objects is caused by the force of?
Assuming that there are no other forces on the object, the force that causes the acceleration of a falling object is the gravitational force (attractive force that exists between two masses). In problems, this assumption is usually used.However, in Force = mass*acceleration it is important to remember it is net acceleration and net force. Thus, for an object falling in real life the acceleration is caused by the gravitational force and a drag force which results from the object moving through the air. You have to take into account all the forces on the object.
Is the moon too small to have a gravitational pull on another object?
No, the moon's gravitational pull on the earth is the dominate cause of tides in the oceans. When the Apollo moon missions were going on, the moon's gravity both kept the command module in orbit and the lander and astronauts on its surface. Nothing is too small to have a gravitational pull on another object.
Why does earth have mare gravitational force than the more?
The gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their masses.That means (mass #1) times (mass #2).If Mass-#1 is you, then the gravitational force between you and another object depends on the massof the other object.Since the earth has much more mass than the moon, the gravitational force between you and the earth islarger than the gravitational force between you and the moon.(The force also depends on the distance between the two objects. But you should already begetting the idea, without going into the other details.)
1 In what direction do the gravitational forces act?
Gravitational forces are attractive only. They act on a line from the center of mass of one object, to the center of mass of another object, and work to bring the two objects closer together.
Which term is defined as the measure of the force of the gravity acting on the mass of a substance?
AnswerWeight is defined as the result of the gravitational force acting on an objects mass. In other words, there is an attractive force between the Earth an another object. The large the mass of the object the greater it's weight. This is because gravitational force increases when mass increases.
What are two factors that determine an object's gravitational force on another object?
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their individual masses, and on the distance between their centers of mass. It's a bit sloppy to talk about one object's gravitational force on another object, because the forces are equal in both directions ... both objects pull each other with equal force.
What two variables dictate how much gravitational force on one object has upon another object?
mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. gravitational force can be found using: , where G is gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of object 1 (in kg) m2 is the mass of object 2 (in kg) r is the distance between the objects (in meters)
Why is there an upward force on objects in fluid?
Gravity pulls both the fluid and the submerged object downward. The difference between the gravitational attractive forces on the fluid and the submerged object describes the upward (buoyant) force that the fluid exerts on the object.
What force is causes an object to orbit another object in space?
Gravitational pull
How can astronomers tell how much objects in space weigh?
Weight is due to gravitational forces between two objects. A single object inspace without another one reasonably nearby, or even in gravitational free-falltoward another object, is weightless. So you can not weigh an object in space.Determining the mass of objects in space is another matter.
What happend to the gravitational force between two objects if the distance between them is decreased?
The gravitational force that one object exerts on another will decrease in magnitude. In the formula for gravitational force, the force is inversely proportional to the square of distance. This means that reducing the distance between the objects will increase the magnitude of gravitational force.
What are two factors that determine an gravitational force on another object?
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their individual masses, and on the distance between their centers of mass. It's a bit sloppy to talk about one object's gravitational force on another object, because the forces are equal in both directions ... both objects pull each other with equal force.
What are 2 things that influence the gravitational pull of one object on another?
The mass of the objects and the distance between their centres of mass.
What is measure of gravitational attraction or force of gravity pulling one object toward the center of another object?
The attractive force F between two masses M1 and M2 separated by a distance L is given by F = [M1 x M2]/L2 multiplied by a gravitational constant, G. If Masses are in Kg and distances in meters, the value of G is 6.67 x 10-11 , and F is in Newtons.
Does every object have a gravitational pull on another object?
Yes. A gravitational force attracts every mass toward every other mass.
