On or near the surface of the Earth, 50 kg of mass weighs 490 newtons (110 pounds).

(rounded)

Note:

That's also the weight of the Earth on or near the surface of the 50 kg mass.

How does gravitational force affect your mass?

Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.


How does gravitational force change mass?

Gravitational force does not change the mass (kilograms)of an object. It merely changes the force at which one object is attracted to the other. This means it's weight (newtons) is raised. The formula for weight is Mass x Force of Gravity, which is why thing seem to weigh less on the moon, their mass does not change, only their apparent weight.


Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?

Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


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.


How does the planets mass affect the strength of gravitational force?

The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force.

What determines the size of gravitational force?

The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)


How does the size of an object impact the gravitational force acting upon it?

The gravitational force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. Therefore, the size of an object, which is related to its volume, can impact the gravitational force acting upon it. Larger objects with greater mass will experience a stronger gravitational force compared to smaller objects with less mass.


What does not change when gravitational force changes?

The mass of an object does not change when the gravitational force changes. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational force acting on it.


What is the gravitational force of earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is?

The gravitational force of Earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is approximately 9.81 Newtons.


Which of the objects has the most gravitational force a sand grain a marble a bowling ball or tennis ball?

The object with the most gravitational force would be the bowling ball, as it has the greatest mass compared to a sand grain, marble, and tennis ball. Gravitational force increases with mass, so the object with the highest mass will have the strongest gravitational force.


A ball of mass 0.4 kg flies through the air at low speed so that air resistance is negligible What is the net force acting on the ball while it is in motion?

The net force on the ball while it is in motion is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. Since air resistance is negligible, the only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force, which is equal to the mass of the ball multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). So, the net force acting on the ball is 0.4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 N.


Which exerts more gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?

The object with the most mass, as gravitational force is dependent on mass. Therefore the bowling ball exerts more gravitational force than a baseball or a football.


How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?

The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.


Is weight caused by the gravatational force acting on mass?

Yes, and you can do even better than that.Weight IS the gravitational force on a mass.


What is the force produced by gravity acting on mass?

The force produced by gravity acting on a mass is known as weight. Weight is calculated as the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the object and the strength of the gravitational field.


Is it true that mass changes when gravitational force changes?

No, mass remains constant regardless of changes in gravitational force. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravitational force, whereas weight, which is the force acting on an object due to gravity, can change with variations in gravitational force.


Which term is defined as the measure of the force of the gravity acting on the mass of a substance?

AnswerWeight is defined as the result of the gravitational force acting on an objects mass. In other words, there is an attractive force between the Earth an another object. The large the mass of the object the greater it's weight. This is because gravitational force increases when mass increases.
