The force of gravity (or any force) obey's Newton's Second Law of motion: the force applied to a body is equal to the time derivative of it's momentum. In cases where the mass is constant (practically all of introductory physics and much of graduate-level physics), force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F = ma)

Gravity can change depending on the mass/density of the planet. It also changes a little based on your position on the planet. For example, if you are at the equator of the earth, your body weight has a very slight difference if your were at one of the poles.

The mass of the gravitational body in question (Compare Earth's gravity with that of Mars, which has a smaller mass than Earth), or another gravitational field (See the Moon's effects on oceanic tides).

Short answer: Changing the distance.

Longer answer:
The force of gravity depends on the two objects' mass and distance. Changing any of those will affect the pull of gravity.
For example, if you gain weight, Earth pulls stronger on you (and you pull stronger on the Earth).
Another example: if you are flying on an airplane, you weigh a little less than you do at sea level.

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.

In fact there is no gravity in this world there is only the air pressure that controls and hold the objects in this world.I can prove this

F the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity on an object then the object?

accelerates upward, and may shoot up out of the water.If the buoyant force is equal to the force of gravity, then the object floats right there.


What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 1033 Newtons?

If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms


How gravity and air resistance are related to an object's terminal velocity?

Gravity and air resistance (drag) are the two opposing forces acting on the falling body. Gravity causes the object to accelerate (fall faster) while the air resistance causes the object to decelerate (fall slower). At a certain velocity called the terminal velocity these two forces are in balance and there is no change in falling speed.


Pull acting on an object caued by the Force of gravity is called the?

Gravitational Pull, push, or force.


What does a object do when it accelerates?

when the motion of an object accelerates it either increases speed, decreases speed, or it changes direction.
