Prior to Einstein, Newton's theory did a great job explaining many of the effects of gravity. Newton's theory, however, didn't offer any explanation of what gravity actually is. Einstein's theory offers some understanding of what gravity is. According to him, an object's mass warps space-time in certain ways, and the pull is an object's reaction to this warp. Newton's equations do not exclude the possibility of instantaneous extension of the gravitational field; Relativity accounts for the impossibility of instantaneous extension of the gravitational field.

What object changes mass of an object when the pull of gravity changes?

The mass of an object doesn't depend on the gravitational force on the object.

When gravity changes the of an object changes?

depend on how big or small the object is, the greater the more gravtational pull it has, smaller the object is less gravatational pull it has. if the object changes mass well that when the gravitatonal pull becomes either stronger or weaker, but all depends.

What is it called when object changes when the pull of gravity changes?

Not quite sure what you mean; the pull of gravity will only change if either (a) the mass of either of the two interacting objects changes, or (b) the distance changes.


In which property of matter changes depending on the pull of gravity?

Weight is the property of matter that changes depending on the pull of gravity. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, while mass remains constant regardless of gravity.


What is an object that changes when the pull of gravity changes mass or weight?

A pendulum changes its period (time taken to swing back and forth) when the pull of gravity changes, which can be influenced by changes in mass or weight. This change is due to the relationship between the acceleration due to gravity and the formula for the period of a pendulum.


Does mass change when gravity changes?

No, an object's mass remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and is not affected by the gravitational force acting on it. However, an object's weight, which is the force exerted by gravity on the object, will change with variations in gravitational pull.


The what of an object changes if the force of gravity changes?

The weight of the object would change if gravity changes. cw: Yes, if the FORCE of gravity changes, the FORCE of the object in the downward direction changes.


What is the pull of gravity on an object called?

The pull of gravity on an object is called weight. It is the force that acts on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.


The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its what?

The pull of gravity on an object's mass is called its weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass.


Does the mass or weight of an object change when the pull of gravity changes?

The weight of an object changes when the pull of gravity changes, but its mass remains constant. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object.
