Gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object, and it's distance from another object. So assuming that the two objects are not moving farther apart, the gravitational attraction would increase if the mass increased. ...actually, gravity is directly proportional to the mass, INVERSELY proportional to the distance...

Inside the atmosphere around a large celestial body, however, everything falls at the same rate. On earth that is a downward acceleration of 9.8 meters/second2 ok sure, but the force of gravity is still inversely proportional to the distance between objects, which means our earth's gravity is stronger on the surface, than it is at a point outside of our solar system. If our earth acquired more mass, it would have more gravitational force. i think you're talking about the effect of air resistance, and when you drop things in a vacuum cannister, they have the same rate of acceleration, caused by gravity and without air resistance. But if you move your vacuum canister 10 billion miles away, our gravity would affect less force, the rate of acceleration would be lesser.

Nothing happens to gravity in that event. The force between the increased mass

and other objects remains proportional to the product of the masses, as before.

This means that if there are two objects and the mass of one of them suddenly

increases, then the gravitational force between them also suddenly increases.

More mass --> more gravity.


Does an objects weight increases its mass decrases?

no, weight is just an objects mass with the force of gravity, so as one increases the other will increase too


How does the amount of an objects gravity Strength change if an objects mass increases?

More mass will result in more gravitational force.

it decreases


States that force of gravity between two objects increases with the mass of the objects?

that is the gravitational attraction force


Does the force of gravity decrease as the mass of objects increase?

No, the force of gravity increases as the mass of the object increases. force of gravity is a constant 9.8 meters/second^2 Terminal velocity will cause heavier objects to fall faster than lighter objects depending on their relative effective densities and shapes.


The force of gravity between two objects increases with mass and decreases with distance?

True


How do mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?

The force of gravity acts between all objects. If massincreases, the force of gravity increases. If distanceincreases, the force of gravity decreases.
