This question is simple . The force of gravity or attraction for an object is called weight . The weight differs from one place to another . The SI (international system ) unit of weight is called the Newton (N) . To measure the weight of an object , we use a dynamometer .

Does something in space need to be spinning to have gravity?
A spinning object does not create gravity. But it does create centripetal forces (also previously known as centrifugal forces) whereby an object traveling the path of a spinning object is propelled toward the outside wall of the spinning object, due to the force angled to the rotation of the circle counteracting the force of the smaller object traveling tangent to its path. The strength of this force is often measured in "G's". A "G" is equivalent to the force of gravity, ie: 2 "G" is equivalent to twice the force of gravity.
What forces have to be balanced for terminal velocity to be reached by an object?
For an object in freefall, terminal velocity is reached when the drag force becomes equal and opposite to the force of gravity. This creates a net force of 0, resulting in no further acceleration.
What is another force acting on an object?
gravity
What is the force of gravity at Pluto's surface on an object with a mass of 100 kg?
The force of gravity at Pluto's surface on an object with a mass of 100kg is approximately 58N .
When the buoyant force is equal to the force of gravity an object will?
float in the fluid
What exerts gravity?
The object that exerts gravity is an object with mass.
When the only force affecting an object is gravity that object is?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
The amount of gravitational attraction on an object is known as?
force due to gravity
How are mass weight and acceleration related to gravity?
Gravity is the force that attracts two masses together. Weight on Earth is the force of gravity acting upon an object on Earth. The formula for force is: F=ma -or- Force=mass x acceleration So, multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2 on Earth) will give you the measurement of the force of gravity acting upon the object, also known as the object's weight.
What is the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object?
mass of object *force of gravity
When the only force affecting an objects is gravity that object is an?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
The force of gravity on an object is known as its mass?
Any two objects experience a pair of gravitational forces, one force on each object, that draw them together. Both forces are equal, and their strength depends on the masses of both objects, and on the distance between the objects. If you're one of the objects, then you call the force your "weight" on the Earth. It's important to realize that the Earth feels the same force toward you, and that force is the Earth's weight on you.
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.
Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity?
This is commonly known as Free Fall
Does the mass of an object change states yes or no?
no, but the force of gravity, also known as weight, does.
The weight of an object is the force of?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity.
