The gravitational force exerted on an object is called weight. It is the force exerted by gravity on the object's mass.
The gravitational force exerted on an object is called weight. It is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth due to gravity.
The name given to the gravitational force on an object is simply called "gravity."
Newton called the force exerted by the second object back on the first object "reaction force" or "action-reaction pair," as stated in his third law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The measure of how much gravitational force is exerted on an object is called its weight. Weight is dependent on both the mass of the object as well as the strength of the gravitational pull acting upon it.
