Mass affects the gravitational force since, greater the mass, higher the force of gravitation. This can be proved by the equation:

F = Gm1m2/r2

where, G = gravitational constant

m1 and m2= mass of the objects

r = distance between their centers.

This shows that mass is directly proportional to the gravitational force.

How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?

Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.


The amount of gravitational pull an object exerts depends on what?

the grvitational pull of an object depents on its mass and density for power.


What is the relationship between mass gravitational pull and speed?

The gravitational pull of an object is directly proportional to its mass; larger masses exert a stronger gravitational force. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, this force influences the speed of objects in its vicinity, affecting their orbits and trajectories. For instance, the greater the mass of a planet, the faster an object must travel to achieve orbit without falling into it, balancing the gravitational pull with centripetal force. Thus, while mass increases gravitational pull, the speed of an object in a gravitational field is determined by both this pull and its distance from the mass.


Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?

Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Does a mass measurement include the effect of earths gravitational pull on the object being measured?

Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.

What determine the gravitational pull of a object?

An object's gravitational pull is determined by the object's mass.


Does every object have a gravitational pull on another object?

Yes. A gravitational force attracts every mass toward every other mass.

What causes an object to have a gravitational pull?

An object has a gravitational pull due to its mass. Gravitational force is a fundamental force of nature that arises from the mass of an object pulling other objects towards it. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.


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.


What object changes mass of an object when the pull of gravity changes?

The mass of an object doesn't depend on the gravitational force on the object.


The weight of an object varies with the?

either speed of the object or the pull of gravity?


What is weight what is Mass?

Mass is the measure of the quantity of material contained within an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object. Weight will vary depending on how strong the gravitational pull is while mass remains the same.

Does all mass has gravity?

Yes, all mass exerts a gravitational force on other objects. The strength of the gravitational force is directly related to the mass of the object - the more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.


What affects the earths gravitational pull?

Mass and density. The more mass an object has the higher its gravitational pull is. Some places on Earth are more dense than others. therefore they have more mass which can slightly increase the gravitational pull at that area.
