What is the measure of the earth's pull on an object?

The measure of the Earth's pull on an object is called its gravity, which is commonly quantified as the object's weight. This force is determined by the mass of the object and the mass of the Earth, as well as the distance between them.


If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


What is the difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon?

The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.


What is the measurement of the pull of gravity between the earth and the earth objects?

I assume you mean "between Earth and other objects". That is called the WEIGHT of the objects.


What is the pull of gravity on earth a direct result of?

The force of gravity is mutual between every pair of masses. The strength of the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and it's equal in both directions. The 'pull' toward the earth that you feel is the force of gravity between the earth's mass and your mass. The strength of the pull is proportional to the product of your mass and the earth's mass, and the earth feels the same pull toward you.

A measure of the pull of gravity between an object and earth?

Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity between an object and Earth. This force is proportional to an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity. It is usually measured in newtons or pounds.


How does the weight of a body vary with its position on earth?

Weight is measure of the product between the body's mass and acceleration due to gravity acting on it. This acceleration due to gravity is different at different locations on earth. And hence is the weight. Poles are said to have higher acceleration of gravity.


What is the name of the measure of the pull of gravity on an object?

to measure the pull of gravity,the mass of the body is multiplied by 9.8 newton approximately ,this gives the force by which the body is pulled by gravity . for example : if a body mass is of 6 kg,then the gravitational pull is 58.8 newtons.


If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


What is pull on earth on you?

I think that's gravity. Gravity is the pull of a celestial body on other things.


What causes matter on earth to have weight?

The weight of an object on Earth is caused by the gravitational force between the object and Earth's mass. The gravitational force pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, giving them weight. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on it due to gravity.


What are two reasons that the pull of gravity between mars and the sun is less than the pull of gravity between earth and the sun?

1. The earth has greater mass 2. the earth is closer to the sun


What are the two masses and the one distance that determines your weight?

Your mass, the mass of the Earth, and the distance between you and the earth's center determine the gravitational force exerted on you by the Earth (i.e. your weight).


What is a measure of the pull pf gravity on an object?

The measure, or force between two objects is calculated from the relationship between the combined mass and the distance between them in the following equation: . f = (G * m1 * m2) / d^2 key: f = force (and reaction) G = newtons gravitational constant m1 = mass of object 1 m2 = mass of object 2 d = distance between centres of gravity


The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?

The weight registered on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of gravity. Gravity exerts a force on your body mass, causing it to be pulled downwards. This force is measured as weight when you step on a scale.
