A single object doesn't have a gravitational attraction. The gravitational force between two objects
is proportional to the product of both of their masses. So the force between the earth and any other
object ... like a person ... depends on the mass of the person, just as much as it depends on the earth's
mass.
You can't tell the strength of the earth's attraction of an object until you know the object's mass.
(In other words, you don't know how much a person on earth will weigh until you know something
about the person.)
What else can I help you with?
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
What is the measure of earths gravitational pull on matter?
WIEGHT
What is a measure of the amount of gravitational attraction on an object?
Mass to the object.
How do they measure the earths mass?
-- Take an object of known mass, such as a liter of water.-- Measure the force of gravitational attraction between it and the earth, by placing it on a scale and "weighing" it.-- Knowing the distance from the center of the earth (earth's "radius") and the value of the Gravitational constant,and using the formula for the gravitational force between two masses, the earth's mass can now be calculated.
Is the Moon's gravitional pull stronger or weaker than the earths?
The moons gravitational attraction is weaker as the moon is smaller
If the sun collapsed to become a black hole the earths gravitational attraction to it would be?
if the sun turned into a black hole we would be gone in seconds... it wouldn't matter Another answer: The Earth gravitational attraction would remain the same. Sun's gravitational attraction would also remain the same. Why? Because their mass would remain the same.
Why is their no atmosphere in the moon?
because the gravitational attraction of moon is very low(about 1/6th of earths') which is not sufficient to hold the air molecules to form atmosphere.
What is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?
If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.
What is the measure of earths gravitational force on an object is the object?
Commonly referred to as the object's "weight".Note: The object also exerts the same identical gravitational force on the earth.Earth
When is gravity zero?
The force of gravitational attraction between two masses is never zero. There is a force of gravitational attraction between a hair on your head and the smallest moon in the farthest galaxy. The force may be too small to measure, but it's never zero.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
What is the gravitational pull of objects called?
Gravitational attraction.
