Gravity makes things heavy. Weight is the effect of gravity on an object's mass. That's the amount of stuff it's made of. The more mass something has, the more gravity tugs it down and the heavier it is
Weight is calculated as mass times gravity. Therefore, an object with a mass of 10 kg., in a gravity of 9.8 m/sec2 (approximate value of Earth's gravity) will weigh 98 Newton.
Mass also affects intertia. The more mass, the more inertia (resistance to acceleration).
What actually gives objects their mass is still a subject of active research. If they ever discover it, the answer will probably be quite complicated.

What type of force causes an object t start moving?
Unbalanced force is a type of force that causes an object to start moving.
Force that causes an object o move in the same direction as the force is?
gravitational pull/force
What does unbalanced mean?
Ubalanced force: is when two forces are acting on an object results in a net force and causes a change in the object's motion.
In scientific terms when do you do work?
When you exert a force on an object that causes the object to move some distance .
The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
What is a force called that causes an object to object to move in a circle is called?
A force that causes an object to move in a circle is a central force, or a centripetal force.
What causes motion of an object?
Applied force to an object causes motion.
What does a unbalenced force on an object do?
causes the object to fall...
What force causes an object to have weight?
force of gravity
Energy is done when a force causes an object to move?
Work is done when force causes an object to move and capacity of doing work is called energy So, energy is required and consumed when force causes an object to move
What force causes an object to move in the direction of the force?
The force is work.
What is a force that causes an object to move in a cycle?
centrifugal force
What force causes an object to fall once it is released?
Gravity causes an object to fall to Earth.
Is Centripetal force causes an object to accelerate in a fixed direction true about centripetal force?
Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.
What force causes object to move downward?
The force that causes objects to move downward is gravity
What is the transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force called?
The transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force is called work.
What is the transfer of energy to an object using a force that causes the object to move in the other direction of the force?
Inertia.
