Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
What is mass of 2.0kg of Au on planet 3x gravity on earth?
Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object; it does not depend on gravity. The mass of 2.0 kg of gold is 2.0 kg no matter where the gold is, so on a planet with three time the gravity, the mass would still be 2.0 kg.
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.
How the gravity of the planet vary with their mass?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
What determines your weight on a planet?
Both it's mass and the force of gravity acting on it
What part of an object is a measure of the force of gravity between earth and the object?
The object has mass, and the force of gravity gives that object weight, which is mass in a gravimetric field.
How do you find the weight of an object if given only the mass and the planet the object is on?
-- In a reference book or on-line, look up the acceleration of gravity on the surface of that planet. -- Multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is. The result is the object's weight in that place.
How does the gravity of the planet vary with the planets mass?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
How does the planets mass vary with the gravity of the planet?
The gravitational force on an object at a standard distance is proportional to the mass of the planet.
What happens to the mass and weight of an object if it is transported to another planet?
Mass . . . No change. Weight . . . Changes & depends on the gravity on the other planet compared to the gravity on Earth.
How is weight and mass different?
mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the measure of force of gravity on an object
Does planet Mars have gravity?
Yes it does but not as much as earth does. Every object that has mass also has gravity.
