It is the attractive force that all matter possesses for other matter. We're pretty sure of that. We can, thanks to Newton, measure it and describe how it usually behaves. Einstein understood it as an effect of curved space/time, and not as matter dependent.
Thanks to Newton and Einstein, we know enough to think and talk about it, but we still don't completely understand its fundamental nature. We may have to understand the fundamental nature of light before we can understand gravity, since light photons have (we're pretty sure) no mass and yet are affected by gravity (gravitational lensing).

What is the gravitional force of a falling object with a mass of 120kg?
120x9.8= 1176 newtons
What is the measure of the gravitional force exerted by earth on an object?
Commonly referred to as the object's "weight".Note: The object also exerts the same identical gravitational force on the earth.Earth
When an object is still the forces on the object are?
There is Inertia with newtons law that an object in motion stays in motion. There is gravity holding it down.If the object is at rest, there is no force acting upon it. Force = mass x acceleration (F=ma). Inertia is not a Force, and the net gravitional Force is zero because the downward acceleration is balanced by the upward push of the matter it rests upon. If there is no acceleration, there is no Force.
What is attractive force of matter?
The attractive force of matter is the gravitional forces between the two masses. The force of the attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. You are pulling the Earth toward yous with the same proportionate attraction that the Earth is pulling you, relative to each of your own relative weight. See Cavendidh's experiment on the attraction of masses.
What allows us to stand upright and keeps us from falling through the ground?
while gravitional force pulls us down , the opposing force from the ground pushes us upward and the two opposite forces cancel each other out , which create inertia mean NO MOTION !
What does gravitional force?
The force of attraction between masses is called gravitional force or gravity
What is the gravitional force for mercury?
5.401.098 km
What the amount of gravitional force of an object?
weight
What Issac newton invented?
found gravitional force
Does the moon excert gravitional force on earth?
Yes.
What are the 3 generals force?
the three types of energy ;the magnetic force;gravitional force;wind force
A force that keeps planets in orbit?
Centripetal Force.That force is, of course, supplied by gravitional force.
How do you increase gravitional force?
being spun around in circles
Who discover gravitional force?
Isaac newton.
How is gravitional force related to newtons first law?
It isn't.
What does gravitional force mean?
Gravitational force is the atraction of all matter to all other matter
What is gravitional force reduced by?
Gravitational force depends on the masses involved, and on the distance. There is no known way to "block" the gravitational force.
