The gravitational force depends on the mass. With a larger mass, the force becomes greater. Also, it is in a certain sense a fairly weak force - for instance, two masses of one kilogram each, at a distance of one meter, have a mutual gravitational attraction of about 0.000000000067 newton.

The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?

The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is the gravitational field. This field is responsible for exerting a force on any other object within its influence, causing it to experience gravitational acceleration towards the massive object.


Why do you only notice the gravitational force of massive objects?

Gravitational force depends on mass, so larger objects like planets and stars have a stronger gravitational pull. This is why we tend to notice the gravitational force of massive objects more, as their effects are more pronounced on smaller objects like us on Earth.


Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?

If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.


If two objects have different masses does the more massive object pull with a great force?

Yes, the more massive object will exert a greater force of gravity on another object compared to a less massive one, as gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects involved.


How does Gravity depend on the mass?

Gravity depends on the mass of an object by directly proportional it to it. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational force. This is why more massive objects have a stronger gravitational pull.


Is there any gravitational pull on mercury?

Yes. Every object---everyone---has gravitational forces. The gravitational force is proportional to the Mass of an object. So the Moon is exerting forces on the Earth and vice versa, but the larger object influences the smaller one more. If the Moon did not have gravitational force, then the Earth's oceans would not have tides. Mecury is so close to the massive Sun, that its small force is no match to the Sun's force.


Does a more massive object weigh more than less massive one?

If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.


What determine how much gravity something has?

The amount of gravity something has is determined by its mass and how close it is to other objects exerting gravitational force. The more massive an object is, the more gravitational force it can exert, and the closer two objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.


What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?

The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.


Do Halley's comet have a gravitational force?

Yes, everything has a gravitational force, but the force of this differs from object to object.

Why iks the gravitational force of the sun the strongest in the solar system?

The gravitational force of the sun is strongest for the reason that the sun is the most massive. Gravitational force is proportional to mass; the higher the mass, the stronger the gravity. The sun has over a thousand times the mass of the next most massive object in the solar system (Jupiter).
