Yes. The forces with which every speck of mass attracts every other speck

of mass, just because they have mass, are called the forces of "gravitation",

or simply 'gravity' by most folks.

Why do objects attract each other?

A fundamental force in the universe, and one that is characteristic of all matter, is gravity. It is a force that always acts to attract one mass to another.All objects attract each other through the force of gravity. The equation is ...F = G(Mm/r2)... where F is in newtons, G is the universal gravitational constant 6.674 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2, M and m are the masses of the two objects in kilograms, and r is the distance between the two objects in meters.Note that there are other forces, such as the weak interaction, the electromagnetic force, and the strong interaction, that also come into play, particularly at atomic and sub-atomic scales, but gravity reigns supreme over all longer distances.


Why do particles of matter attract each other?

Particles of matter attract each other due to the fundamental force of gravity or electromagnetic attraction. Gravity is a universal force that pulls all objects with mass towards each other, while electromagnetic attraction is caused by opposite charges or magnetic poles attracting each other. These forces create the interactions that hold matter together in various forms.


Why does each planet have gravitational pulls?

All objects with mass attract all other objects with mass. The force between two 1-kg masses 1 metre apart is 6.670E-11 Newtons. All gravitional forces are attractions, unlike electric or magnetic attraction that can be attraction or repulsion. Thus gravitation is the only force that could have caused the stars to form.


What sides of the magnets attract each other?

Unlike poles attract each other

What planet attracts other objects through gravity?

All planets have gravity, and will attract other objects. The strength of the attraction is determined by the mass of the planet and the distance to the object.


Do magnets measure mass?

No they attract to other magnets.

What is the gravitational force of a tennis ball?

The force depends on the field the tennis ball is in. All objects with mass attract all others; a tennis ball and the earth attract each other equally with a force equal to what we call the "weight" of the ball in pounds or ounces. Pounds and ounces are technically measures of force, NOT mass. They attract each other as described by the formula: where "m" is the true mass (usually in grams), "r" is the distance between the objects (in meters) and "G" is a constant: Ouch!


Can earth attract other planets?

Yes. Every thing that has mass (on Earth, we call it 'Weight') attracts every other thing with mass. It is correct to say that any two things with mass attract each other. For instance, the Earth pulls on you because of the force of gravity, but you pull on the Earth right back - only by a tiny amount, but still . . . The Earth and Sol, the Sun, attract each other, and both attract the Moon. The same way, Earth and, say, Mars or Venus attract each other, but only by a relatively small amount due to the large distances between them. +++ Mass is not weight! Whatever the Space Station's mass if it could be landed, it has the same mass in space, but there it is weightless, or practicably so.


Can magnetic force attract objects with mass to one another?

Yes, because all "objects" have mass.


Why does two masses attract each other?

All masses have a gravitational pull which increases with the size of the mass - if you took a marble though, it would have a gravitational pull but it is too weak to be noticeable. Two mases attract eac other because of their gravitational pull.


Does spiders have gravity?

Everything that has energy or mass will attract other objects via the force of gravity.


Why does earth attract near by objects with significant force?

A force called "gravity" makes that any mass attract any other mass. The larger the masses, the stronger will the force be. The greater the distance, the smaller will this force be.
