Yes, though very slightly. The pull of gravity from the moon on the earth is why we have tides in the ocean. So on the sides of earth closest and farthest from the moon the ocean is stretched, while in the sides that are on either side are shortened.

What is the measure of the pull of gravity on an object this property will change if this object is on a planet other than earth?

The measure of the pull of gravity on an object is its weight, which is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity varies on different planets, so the weight of an object will change if it is on a planet other than Earth.


What is the pull of gravity on an object called?

The pull of gravity on an object is called weight. It is the force that acts on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.


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.


What is a push or pull on an object that causes change of motion?

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause a change in its motion or shape. It is measured in units called newtons and can be exerted by objects or fields, such as gravity or magnetism.


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

No. The mass of an object is what it's made up of, like if it's a large balloon, it's massive when it comes to air, but it doesn't weigh anything. WEIGHT is what will change. When you say "Pull of gravity" I assume you mean "gravitational pull," and the less gravity felt on an object, the less wight exerted, but the mass stays the same, because the object itself didn't change. Let's say you have a lead ball both here and on the moon. They're both led balls, but they weigh differently because of the gravity difference. Now if you added onto the moon ball so that they weigh the same, then the mass would be different but the weight will be the same. So to answer your question, no.

Does your weight change depending on the pull of gravity?

Yes, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Therefore, weight will change depending on the strength of the gravitational pull, which can vary depending on location (e.g., Earth's gravity vs. the moon's gravity).


The weight of an object varies with the?

either speed of the object or the pull of gravity?


What force can change a moving object?

A force such as friction, gravity, or a push/pull from another object can change the motion of a moving object by slowing it down, speeding it up, or changing its direction.


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.


What is a pull of gravity on a object?

The pull of gravity on any given object is of course the objects weight. The acceleration an object undergoes while falling due to gravity's pull is approximately 9.8 m/s/s. (meters per second per second)
