Because every body no matter how small has mass. We don't notice the gravitational force between the people and things around us because the mass of the earth is so large in comparison.

Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true or false?

False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.


How much mass does a celestial object have to have to exert gravitational force?

There is no minimum mass at which point an object (celestial or otherwise) begins to have a gravitational force. Any object with mass has an associated gravitational force. The magnitude of that force is proportional to to the mass of the object - lots of mass results in lots of gravitational force; little masses result in only little gravitational force.


What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?

They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object


Why do the earth and the sun exert on the other?

I assume you mean, why do they exert gravitational attraction. ANY object with mass, so any object, exerts such a force on ANY other mass.


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?

Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.

Is the force that every object in the universe exert on every other object?

inertia


Do Objects of any size exert a gravitational force.?

If the object having some mass then for sure it exert a gravitational force.The more the mass the more will be gravity.


Which following object exerts a gravitoonal force?

All objects with mass exert a gravitational force on other objects.


Why is there a gravitational force between a bowling ball and a soccer ball?

The gravitational force between the bowling ball and soccer ball is due to their masses. All objects with mass exert a gravitational force on each other, following Newton's law of universal gravitation. The force is stronger when the masses of the objects are larger and when they are closer together.


Why are not attracted to the wall by gravitational force?

Humans are not attracted to walls by gravitational force because walls do not have sufficient mass to exert a noticeable gravitational pull on us. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object, so walls, being much less massive than the Earth, do not exert a significant gravitational force on us.


Is gravitational force same for every body?

no, because gravitational force depents on the object's weight.

Why does earth exert such a strong force of gravity?

Answer #1: A gravitational force exists between every two masses. Answer #2: When you hold something in your hand and then let go of it, what usually happens to it ? What does this tell you ? Yes, Earth does exert gravitational force on anything with mass.


When you exert a force on an object it exert the?

When you exert a force on an object, it exerts an equal and opposite force on you, as described by Newton's third law of motion. This means for every action force, there is a reaction force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction.
