What is the gravitational force acting on a ball that has a mass 50 kg?

∙ 12y ago
On or near the surface of the Earth, 50 kg of mass weighs 490 newtons (110 pounds).
(rounded)
Note:
That's also the weight of the Earth on or near the surface of the 50 kg mass.

What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
How does gravitational force affect your mass?
Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.
How does the planets mass affect the strength of gravitational force?
The greater the 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.
Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?
No. The mass of the person is the same but the weight is less as the mass of the moon is less resulting in a weaker gravitational force acting on the mass of the person.
What determines the size of gravitational force?
The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)
Which exerts more gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?
The object with the most mass, as gravitational force is dependent on mass. Therefore the bowling ball exerts more gravitational force than a baseball or a football.
Is weight caused by the gravatational force acting on mass?
Yes, and you can do even better than that.Weight IS the gravitational force on a mass.
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.
Sixth grade science question what is mass?
Mass is the weight of the object without the gravitational force acting on it..........
What is the force produced by gravity acting on mass?
gravitational force, which is always attractive (unlike the other three forces)
How does gravity affect your weight?
Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.
What is the acceleration of a ball going down a ramp that weighs 0.25kg and is pushed with 1.15N of force?
Force = Mass * AccelerationYou have the force acting on the object and its mass so you just need to rearrange the above equation:Acceleration = Force / MassA = 1.15 / 0.25 = 4.6 ms-2Note the above answer neglects the gravitational acceleration the ball would potentially be experiencing.
What two things affect the gravitational force acting on an object?
The mass of the object that is exerting the force and the distance between the two objects.
A ball weighs 18.0N. As it falls it encounters an air resistance force of 7.2N. What is the mass of the bullet. What is the size and direction of the net force acting on the ball?
We have 18N acting down and 7.2N acting up. 18-7.2 = 10.8N acting down The mass of the ball assuming it is on the Earth surface will be 18/9.8 = 1.84Kg
Which term is defined as the measure of the force of gravity acting on the mass of a substance?
The term describing the measure of gravitational force acting on a mass is "weight". A brick may weigh 6 pounds on earth but the same brick will weigh only 1 pound on the moon. The mass is the same here or there, but the gravitational force on the moon is only one sixth of the gravitational force on earth.
What force interacts when a bowling ball is picked up?
Gravitational force pulling the ball towards the center of the Earth, the normal force between your hands and the ball, and the force exerted on the ball to raise it against gravity; this is called gravitational potential force, which can be calculated to be the mass of the ball multiplied 9.8m/s2 and the height it is raised from it's initial place.
