If the 1 kg object is being pulled by gravity by a force of 9.8 newtons how many newtons of force does gravity exert on a 2 kg object?

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass.
1 kg --> 9.8 newtons
2 kg --> 19.6 newtons
1 million kg --> 9.8 million newtons

∙ 13y ago"Meters per second" is a measure of speed or velocity. Acceleration is measured in meters/second2.
9.82 meters per second squared is the same as 9.82 Newton/kilogram. That means that every kilogram has a weight of 9.82 Newton.

Does gravity pull ONLY down?
No, it pulls in whatever direction the item with the gravitational force is away from the object being pulled. So basically, if there were an object(this object will be marked with a A) just floating and out of no where an object with gravity(Object with gravity being marked with B) appeared ABOVE A, object B would pull object A upward.
What is the force on an object that is pulled with 80 newtons to the right and 80 newtons to the left?
Take the sum of the forces on the object on the horizontal plane(x-direction) with the positive direction being to the right. The 80 newtons to the right is +80N and the 80 newtons acting to the left is -80N. Add them up, so 80N - 80N = 0 N. The total force acting on the object is 0.
What force pulls an object down a slide?
when you're going on a slide you are being pulled toward the ground so it would be gravity.
What force is pulling up an object when gravity is pulling the object down?
Gravity is the force of attraction between matter. When an object exerts gravitational force on another object, the other object also 'pulls' the first object. These force vectors are equal and opposite. In the example of a person being pulled towards a planet, the planet is also being pulled towards the person with the same force between them. The planet just has a lot more mass and accordingly accelerates a great deal less. There is no force "pulling up", but the strength of your legs are pushing up. (the equal and opposite force required for stability).
Why is the force of gravity of the sun is greater than the force of gravity of a car?
It all comes down to mass. The more mass an object has the greater it's gravitational force is. Mass is the amount of matter or "stuff" an object has which we usually refer to as weight because it is being pulled down by the Earth. An object from Earth in space would have little to no weight yet have the same about of mass.

Is weight mass or force?
Weight is a force - the force with which gravity attracts an object. Therefore, being a force, it is measured in unites of force, usually Newtons.
What force pulls an object down a slide?
when you're going on a slide you are being pulled toward the ground so it would be gravity.
Gravity acts on any two objects with mass any where in the universe?
There is Gravity everywhere that man knows of. Gravity is created by the mass of any object, even you and me. However our gravitational pull is too small for someone to feel it. Side note: The reason astronauts are "weightless" is because of how they orbit the Earth. They are being pulled out, kind of like you are pulled when you turn a corner fast, but they are also being pulled by the Earth.
Is it true that a satellite is always being pulled by gravity?
Yes it is true. There is no way to turn gravity off or shield anything from it, so everything is always being pulled toward everything else by gravity.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
What is the minimum force required to pull 50 newtons?
50 lb = 22.68 kg. The gravitational force on that mass is therefore 22.68 x 9.81 Newtons, the acceleration due to gravity being 9.81 meters/sec2. Answer = 222.5 Newtons
Why is the weight of an object on earth different from its weight on the moon?
Because earth is a larger planet than the moon, it has a stronger gravity. Bigger the planet > Stronger the gravity. That is the rule. Since our moon is a much smaller planet, it has weak gravity, and so the object is not being pulled down as hard, so it reduces the overall mass.
