Within a system of mass, the force of gravity on an object is called its weight.
On the Earth's surface, the constant acceleration caused by gravity is measured as a force of attraction from the Earth's center of mass. As one goes farther from the surface, the force of gravity diminishes as the square of the distance, but is still strong at the upper levels of the atmosphere. In orbit, this force is not measurable because spacecraft are essentially in freefall around the planet.
There is actually a mutual attraction between Earth and any object, so the object is exerting an equal force on the Earth (but against a comparably larger mass).
In simple terms: The force of gravity acts on a mass. This is commonly known as weight.
In more detail: When 2 masses are close together the force of gravity will attract them. The force will depend on the mass of the objects (multiply them together) and the distance between them (squared.) Since we all live right on top of an object with a very big mass (the planet Earth) we generally observe the force of gravity as an attraction of everything towards the planet.
It is GMm/r^2 where G is a constant M is the mass of one body m is the mass of the second body and r is the distance between them.
That is called the weight. You can use the formula: weight = mass x gravity.
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
Yes it is.
No. Mass is a characteristic that exerts a force of gravity on another mass. The measure of force is the Newton. The Newton uses mass as part of the factors that go into the calculation.
gravity is the main cause of mass movements.
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.

No. The force of gravity acting on an object's mass is weight.
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
The force acting upon it is energy.
Yes it is.
No. Mass is a characteristic that exerts a force of gravity on another mass. The measure of force is the Newton. The Newton uses mass as part of the factors that go into the calculation.

A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
The property of matter that is not affected by gravity is mass. An object has the same mass regardless of the force of gravity, however it's weight can vary. Weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object.
That's usually called the object's "weight". Like say if you're talking about the forces of gravity between you and the Earth, the force of gravity acting on you is your weight on the Earth, and the force of gravity acting on the Earth is the Earth's weight on you, and they're equal.
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
No, gravity is a force of attraction acting between all objects that have mass.
