Is an object's mass greater on Jupiter than on Earth?

Yes, an object's mass would be the same on Jupiter as it is on Earth because an object's mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull of the planet. However, an object's weight would be different on Jupiter due to the stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth.


What does mass and weight have to do with the law of gravity?

The mass of an object determines the strength of its gravitational pull, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force of gravity pulling it towards another object with mass.


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.


What happen to gravitational pull of Earth if mass of the object increase or decrease?

The FORCE, or Gravitational Pull of the Earth on an Object is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to the Object's Mass. Force = Mass x Acceleration of Gravity So, if Mass goes up, Pull goes up, If the Mass goes down, the Pull goes down.


Why doesn't your mass change on different planets?

Mass is the amount of substance in an object. It is independent of gravitational field. Weight on the other hand, is the measure of the gravitaional pull of an object, which does vary with the strength of a gravitational field.

Does mass change when gravity changes?

No, an object's mass remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and is not affected by the gravitational force acting on it. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted by gravity on the object, will change with variations in gravitational pull.


The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its what?

The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.


Does the mass or weight of an object change when the pull of gravity changes?

The weight of an object changes when the pull of gravity changes, but its mass remains constant. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object.


What is an object that changes when the pull of gravity changes mass or weight?

A pendulum changes its period (time taken to swing back and forth) when the pull of gravity changes, which can be influenced by changes in mass or weight. This change is due to the relationship between the acceleration due to gravity and the formula for the period of a pendulum.


When gravity changes the of an object changes?

depend on how big or small the object is, the greater the more gravtational pull it has, smaller the object is less gravatational pull it has. if the object changes mass well that when the gravitatonal pull becomes either stronger or weaker, but all depends.

In which property of matter changes depending on the pull of gravity?

Weight is the property of matter that changes depending on the pull of gravity. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, while mass remains constant regardless of gravity.


What is the relationship of gravity and mass?

Gravity measures the pull upon an object. The more mass an object has, the more weight it will have. Mass is a SET number. It will never change unless your substance/ object changes. weight changes depending on your altitude and what planet you are on. (Not meant as a joke. It is why astronauts have to jump on the moon, because it has such a low gravitational pull (compared to the Earth).


What is it called when object changes when the pull of gravity changes?

Not quite sure what you mean; the pull of gravity will only change if either (a) the mass of either of the two interacting objects changes, or (b) the distance changes.
