Well, they're both things that you have to consider if you

need to calculate the weight of something.

Also, they're both things that are widely misunderstood

among the population at large.

Does mass mean the same as gravity?

No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.


Is The amount of an objects mass affected by gravity?

An object's mass remains the same regardless of the influence of gravity. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravity. Gravity affects the weight of an object, which is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


How does changing mass affect the force of gravity?

Increasing mass will increase the force of gravity, as gravity is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. Conversely, decreasing mass will decrease the force of gravity acting on an object.


What relationship does mass weight and gravity have?

Mass and weight are related through gravity. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Weight is directly proportional to mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?

Weight is affected by gravity, while mass is not. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, and it depends on the mass of the object and the strength of the gravity acting on it. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains the same regardless of the gravitational field it is in.

What is the mass and force of gravity?

Gravity is a force but has no mass.


Does gravity depend on mass or weight?

Gravity depends on the mass of an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. So, weight depends on both an object's mass and the strength of gravity acting on it.


Does mass determine the force of gravity?

You're on to it! Gravity appears to be a property of mass. No mass - no gravity. But exactly what gravity is we don't yet know.


Does mass mean the same as gravity?

No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.


What you call mass x gravity?

Weight = mass * gravity


What is mass vs gravity?

There is no such thing as mass vs gravity. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe brought about by mass.


Is The amount of an objects mass affected by gravity?

An object's mass remains the same regardless of the influence of gravity. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of gravity. Gravity affects the weight of an object, which is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


Why is earths gravity stronger than an apples?

Gravity is affected by the mass of an object, The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. Apples have gravity, but because they have such a small mass the gravity is tiny, whereas Earth has a huge mass which in turn means that it has a huge and noticeable gravity.

How does gravity relate to the mass of objects?

Classically, gravity is proportional to mass (stationary gravitational mass).


What relationship does mass weight and gravity have?
