How can gravity change the motion of an object?
gravity can change the motion of an object because of magic
Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?
Yes. As acceleration due to gravity increases so does the object's weight. The reverse is true when gravity decreases. Mass, however, does NOT change with gravity.
How does gravity effect a falling object?
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
Is the force of gravity acting upon an object the object's mass?
No. Mass is a property of the object and doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what's happening to it. The force of gravity on the object is its "weight" and that can change. It depends on, for example, what planet the object is on.
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.

Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?
No, the measured weight of an object WILL change but the mass of an object will never change regardless of the gravitational force on object.
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
The what of an object changes if the force of gravity changes?
The weight of the object would change if gravity changes. cw: Yes, if the FORCE of gravity changes, the FORCE of the object in the downward direction changes.
Does an object weight can change depending on gravity?
Yes
Can an object have more than one center of gravity?
No, objects cannot have more than one center of gravity. The center of gravity of an object can however change.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
How does air effect gravity?
Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.
Why does the weight of an object change when you go the moon?
It is because the gravity on the moon is one sixth of the gravity on the Earth
