The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
The more mass the greater the gravity. Mass equals gravity.
There isn't. The "surface gravity" is dependent on the mass (of the planet, etc.) and the distance of the surface from the center of mass. Pluto has MUCH LESS mass than Earth and the gravity is much less on Pluto.
More mass = more force of gravity.
No. The Moon's mass is only about 1/81 of the Earth, and gravity is dependent on mass and distance. Lunar surface gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth beause the Moon's surface is closer to the center of mass.
because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
All mass attracts all other mass, thats a fact. The force between two independent masses depends on the total mass and the distance between them. The "cause" of gravity is subject to great debate, even today.
Since gravity is produced by mass, the center of mass is also the center of gravity. The only difference between these two concepts is that mass is a more basic quantity, so the center of mass would also be the center of inertia, as well as the center of gravity. In practice, these terms can be used interchangeably.
centre of mass is nothing the mass (volume) situated at centre which is not at all use full for pt of control. but centre of gravity is that pt at which we can hold the total mass or body .
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
For two point masses of equal mass, the center of gravity is the center of mass and is located midway between the two point masses.
The pull of gravity depends on the mass of the two objects attracted to one another, and the distance between them. The greater the distance between the two objects, the weaker the pull of gravity. For that reason gravity is strongest at low elevations (closer to the center of mass of the earth) and weakest at high ones (farther from the center of mass), although the difference is essentially impossible to notice.
IF you test that force with the same test object, and IF you place the testobject exactly the same distance from the center each time, THEN the mutualforce of gravity between the test object and the 23.5 kg mass will be 1.6 timesas strong as the mutual force of gravity between it and the 14.7 kg mass.
No, gravity is a force of attraction acting between all objects that have mass.
If the distance remains constant between the center of mass in question and an alternate center of mass, the density of either mass will not affect the gravitational force between the two centers of mass.
There are two major differences between "center of gravity" and "center of mass": 1) The term "center of gravity" aplies to the bodies with mass and weight, while the term "centroid" applies to plan areas. 2) Center of gravity of a body is the point through which the resultant gravitational force (weight) of the body acts for any orientation of the body while centroid is the point in a plane area such that the moment of the area, about any axis, through that point is zero. Center of gravity is the point at which a object can be suspended and be in perfect equilibrium
The force of gravity depends on the two masses involved, but also on the square of the distance between them. It's a difficult calculus problem, but you can show that the effect of a large distributed mass is the same as if the entire mass were concentrated at the center. So even though the mass of the Moon is less, the distance between the surface of the Moon and the center is also less. Since the force depends on the distance squared, the difference in radius has a proportionally larger effect than the difference in mass, making the surface gravity higher than you might expect just from looking at the mass difference.

For a single body, the center of gravity (center of mass) must be within the object. It is the single point at which all of an object's mass can be considered to act. For multiple bodies in a system, the center of mass can fall within a body or anywhere between bodies. The joint center of mass is called the "barycenter."
