yes the force of gravity is measured in newtons. The name comes the scientist who dscovered it Isaac newton. The force of gravity in space is zero and the force of gravity on earth is 9.8 N.

What is the force of gravity pulling on your mass measured in newtons?

The force of gravity pulling on your mass is equal to your mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth. This force is measured in newtons.


Which units are used to measure the force of gravity on a object?

When the force of gravity is calculated using a large spherically symmetric mass like the Earth the distance is measured to the centre of the sphere why is this so?

Teh force of gravity is measured form the center of gravity, thus the center of gravity of the object is appropriately the center of the force. The center of the sphere is also the center of gravity of the sphere.

Is gravity measured in cubic centimeters?

No. First, gravity is a phenomenon not something you can measure. What you can measure is the force due to gravity which is measured in "Newtons" , or the acceleration due to gravity, which is measured in meters per second per second. I can't think of anything about gravity that would be measured in cubic centimeters, or cubic anything.


Why is gravity measured in N?

The weight of something is the force of gravity acting upon it's mass. That's why gravity is measured in Newtons, the force necessary to hold the mass up and resist the acceleration due to gravity. The units for Newtons are kg(m)/s^2.
