What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force
What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
The mass of an object in a gravitional field is called?
The mass of an object in a gravitational field is called the object's "mass".The presence or absence of a gravitational field has no effect on the mass.
Does a vacuum space have gravitational force?
No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.
How is gravitational force and mass related?
Gravitational force F = mass x g where g is the gravitational acceleration.
What planets have high gravitational pulls?
Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls
What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
What is similar between inertial mass and gravitational mass?
Inertial mass is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to the change of its speed. Gravitational mass is the property of the mass of an object that produces a gravitational field in the space surrounding the object.
How does the planets mass affect the strength of gravitational force?
The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.
What is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?
If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force
How sun got gravity?
By virtue of having mass. Anything with mass will have a gravitational effect. The more mass the greater the gravitational force.
How much mass does a celestial object have to have to exert gravitational force?
There is no minimum mass at which point an object (celestial or otherwise) begins to have a gravitational force. Any object with mass has an associated gravitational force. The magnitude of that force is proportional to to the mass of the object - lots of mass results in lots of gravitational force; little masses result in only little gravitational force.
What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
How is the gravitational force between object affected by mass?
More mass will cause more gravitational force.
