The more mass an object has, the more gravity acts on it. Mass actually is known to affect weight because they both depend on each other.

===============================

HONK! Beulah the Buzzer has an objection to raise. Mass does not depend on weight.

"Weight" is the name we give to the gravitational force acting on a mass.

How does the gravity effect their mass?

Gravity affects mass by influencing the weight of an object. The mass of an object remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting upon it, but its weight can change depending on the strength of gravity. As gravity increases, the weight of an object will also increase, but its mass will remain the same.


What property of matter does gravity act upon?

Mass is the property of matter on which gravity act upon.


Mass or weight.Which is dependent upon gravity?

Weight is dependent upon gravity, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting on it. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, causing it to have a different value depending on the strength of the gravitational field.


How does weight relate to gravity and mass?

Weight is the force generated by gravity pulling an object towards the center of the Earth. An object's weight depends on its mass and the strength of the gravitational force acting upon it. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while weight is the force exerted on that mass due to gravity.


Is the mass of an object the force of gravity acting upon it?

Weight is not a force. Weight is a phenomenon associated with a mass in a gravimetric field. It's actually the acceleration of a mass acted on by gravity, which is a force. A 100-pound rock would weigh nothing in deep space. It would be weightless. But the rock weighs 100 pounds on earth because of (mostly) the mass of the earth and also (just a tiny bit) because of the mass of the rock.

Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.

What do scientists measure in grams?

Mass. Weight is measured in Newtons. Weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. The actual SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). A gram is just a subdivision of a kilogram.


What happens to weight and mass as you move away from earth's gravitational field?

weight is derived from gravity's effect upon mass. so your weight would decrease, however your mass would stay the same.


How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?

Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
