What common term is used to describe the force of gravity on an object?
The common term used to describe the force of gravity on an object is its weight. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.
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.
Does a car have more gravity than earth?
No. The gravity of an object is directly proportional to its mass, meaning if you double the mass you double the gravity. Earth has more mass than a car does by an unimaginably large margin. Common sense also says no. Objects very readily fall toward Earth. They do not readily fall toward cars.
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.
Why are mass and weight different?
Mass can be measured by an object's inertia, and that is independent of gravity. Weight is mass times gravity, in other words, it is dependent on gravity. It is considered a quantity that is quite different from mass, although with standard gravity (as is common on Earth's surface), the two are proportional. Read the Wikipedia article "Mass versus weight" for a more detailed explanation.
What common term is used to describe the force of gravity on an object?
The common term used to describe the force of gravity on an object is its weight. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.
Gravity and how mass effects it?
gravity and how mass is effected by it
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.
Does a car have more gravity than earth?
No. The gravity of an object is directly proportional to its mass, meaning if you double the mass you double the gravity. Earth has more mass than a car does by an unimaginably large margin. Common sense also says no. Objects very readily fall toward Earth. They do not readily fall toward cars.
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.
