There's no such thing as the gravity of a single object. Gravity is always a partnership

between two objects.

The forces of gravity between two objects depend on the masses of both of them,

and the distance between them.

And I did say "forces", because there are always two of them ... one force pulling

each object toward the other one, and the two forces are always equal.

The force on you that pulls you toward the center of the Earth is your weight on the Earth.

There's also a force on the planet that pulls it toward the center of you. That force is the

Earth's weight on you. And the two of them are exactly equal.

How center of gravity determines whether the objects is at rest or in motion.?

The centre of gravity does not, by itself, determine whether an object is at rest or in motion. The location of the centre of gravity, relative to where the object is supported, can contribute one of many forces that can act on the object. And it is is the [vector] sum of these forces which determines whether the object remains at rest or in uniform motion.


Which force is often associated with an object's potential energy?

Gravitational force is often associated with an object's potential energy. The potential energy of an object is related to its position in a gravitational field, and the force of gravity acting on the object determines how much potential energy it has.


What determines the weight of an object?

The weight of an object is determined by the force of gravity acting on it. The weight is the product of an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity at that location.


What is the force that determines whether an object moves towards or away from another object, and is it a push or pull?

The force that determines whether an object moves towards or away from another object is called gravity. Gravity is a pull force that attracts objects towards each other.


How is mass weight and gravity are connected?

Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, weight is the force of gravity pulling on an object's mass. The formula to calculate weight is weight = mass x gravity. Gravity is what gives objects weight and determines how much they weigh on Earth relative to their mass.

What determine how much gravity something has?

The amount of gravity something has is determined by its mass and how close it is to other objects exerting gravitational force. The more massive an object is, the more gravitational force it can exert, and the closer two objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.


What does gravity determine about an object?

Gravity determines the weight of an object. This is different from mass which stays constant regardless of gravitational pull. This explains why astronauts become "weightless" in outer space even though there mass is the same.


What are some factors in an object that determines where its center of gravity located?

The only factor is the distribution of masses.


How much gravity has on an object is its?

The amount of gravity acting on an object is its weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it is directly proportional to the object's mass.


Is weight determined gravity?

No it isn't it is in kg/oz/ect
