Mass has two consequences. It generates a gravitational field, and it has inertia. These are quite separate phenomena although they are related to the same quantity, which we call mass. Sometimes we distinguish between gravitational mass, which is mass as measured by a gravitational force (which we usually measure by weighing something on a scale) and inertial mass, which is measured by inertia (which in an orbital, weightless environment, would be the easier type of mass to measure).
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 is the relationship between inertial and gravitational mass?
Inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same thing. This means that an object's resistance to changes in motion (inertial mass) is equal to the force of gravity acting on it (gravitational mass).
What is gravitational mass?
Gravitational mass is a measure of how strongly an object responds to the force of gravity. It determines the force of gravity acting on an object and is equal to the inertial mass, which measures an object's resistance to acceleration. In Newtonian physics, these two types of mass are equivalent.
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 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 is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?
If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.
How does the planets mass affect the strength of gravitational force?
The greater the mass, the greater the 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.
What does not change when gravitational force changes?
The mass of an object does not change when the gravitational force changes. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational force acting on it.
Does every object have a gravitational pull on another object?
Yes. A gravitational force attracts every mass toward every other mass.
