An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.

What is the result of the mass of the object and the distance that affect the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?

mass and distance form an inverse relationship when related to gravity. The larger the mass(es) the greater the gravitational pull. The closer the distance, the greater the gravitational pull.


Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?

Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.


Why does earth exert a greater gravitational force on you than other objects do?

Because it's both massive and close by. Newton's law of gravitation states that gravity becomes stronger the more massive the object, and the closer it is.


What is the most affected by gravitational force?

Gravitational force is experienced by each and every object in this universe.and the magnitude of this gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the object.Hence objects which possess greater mass experience greater gravitational force.the reason of existence of our solar system is the gravitational force experienced by the planets.


Would two bigger things have a greater gravitational force than two smaller things?

Not necessarily, gravitational pull is dependant upon the mass of an object. A smaller object can have more mass than a bigger object (An extremely dense 1x1x1 cube has more gravitational pull than a less dense 3x3x3 cube that has less mass). Size has absolutely NOTHING to do with gravitational pull.

How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?

Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.


Does the size of an object appear to change as the observer moves closer to or farther away from the object?

Yes, the closer you get the bigger the object will appear but to only the size of the object really is, and the farther away you get the small it will get

The greater the mass of an object the greater the objects?

The greater the mass of an object means it causes to have weight in a gravitational field.


Do sound waves move closer or farther away from a vibrating object?

farther away


Gravitational force to distance and mass?

The greater the mass the more gravitational force an object has, the greater distance, say from the ground the greater potential energy, the greater gravitational force. hope that helps :]


Does a heavier object or a lighter object experience a greater gravitational force?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "heavier" and "lighter". Does that mean the object's "weight" ? Could that be the same as the gravitational force on it ?


Is it true that the greater the height of an object the greater its gravitational potential energy?

Yes.Hope this helps!:)


Is itTrue or false is the greater the height of an object the greater its gravitational potential energy?

true


Is there any place on the earth where gravitational force is maximum?

The closer to the core of the earth an object gets, the higher the gravitational pull.


Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?

Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.


Do all planets have the same gravitational field strength as earth?

no No the greater the mass of any object the greater the gravitational field. Everything down to the finest speck of dust has a gravitational field.
