Is gravity the force that pulls objects together?
The exact scientific explanations of gravity are far too complex for this forum. The simple explanation is that every body that has mass attracts every other body that has mass. The more massive the two bodies are the more they attract each other. The more distant they are, the less they attract. Earth has a huge mass, billions and billions of times the size of a human. All of that taken together pulls everything and everyone toward the center of the earth. You may not be aware of it, but your body is also pulling the earth toward you. We can see the effect of a smaller body pulling on a larger one when we see the tides. The moon, a quarter of a million miles away, is affecting the water and the outer crust of the earth, even though the moon is only a little more than 1% of the earth's mass. Further out, tiny Pluto was discovered (in part) because it was affecting the orbits of the gas giant planets Neptune and Uranus.
What determines your weight on a planet?
Your weight on a planet is determined by the strength of its gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the planet's center. The more massive the planet, the stronger the gravity, resulting in a greater weight for objects on its surface.
Does gravity affect an objects with greater mass weight or both?
Gravity effects heavier objects. In other words the heavier the object is, the more gravity effects the object which makes it heavy.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No, the mass of an object remains the same regardless of where it is located in the universe. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity, will be less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull.
Why does a bigger object weigh more?
A bigger object typically weighs more because it has a greater amount of mass. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and mass is the amount of matter it contains. Therefore, larger objects with more mass experience a stronger gravitational force and thus weigh more.
How much gravity pulls on an objects mass?
G= m.g To find the value of gravitational force applied on an object (in other but less scientific words- the amount of gravity that pulls an object) you should multiply the mass of the object (m, generally in kg) and the gravitational acceleration (g, generally in ms-2) in that area.
How does object's size affect the gravity of that object?
An object's size does not directly affect its gravity. Gravity depends on an object's mass and distance from other objects. However, larger objects with more mass tend to have stronger gravitational pulls.
Does the earths gravity pull the moon more than the moon pulls the earth?
Yes.. Always gravity exerted by an object that has larger mass is more.
What two things can affect the weight of an object?
The weight of an object can be affected by both the force of gravity acting on it and the mass of the object itself. In simpler terms, heavier objects have more weight because gravity pulls harder on them.
Is it true that gravity greater on an object that has more mass?
Yes, gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force of gravity it experiences.
Is the force of gravity on an object independent or dependent to the object's mass?
The force of gravity on an object is dependent on the object's mass. Objects with more mass experience a greater force of gravity compared to objects with less mass.
How does the amount of an object's gravity's strength change if the objects mass increases?
More mass will result in more gravitational force.
What planets have high gravitational pulls?
Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls
How are the mass and weight of an object related?
mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
How does gravity make objects to move?
Gravity cannot make objects move on their own, unless they are on a slope or incline. If you mean to ask how gravity holds objects down then that is a completely different question. The more mass a single object has, the more it pulls other objects towards that object. So therefore, the bigger the object the more the gravitational pull.
Why does the super massive black hole have more gravity?
Quite simply it has more mass. The more mass an object has, the more gravity it will have.
Which is the force that pulls objects toward centre of the earth?
The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth is called gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that attracts objects with mass toward each other. It is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun and objects on Earth's surface from floating off into space.
