Gravity is affected by the size of an object and the distance between the objects. When the mass of an object increases the force of gravity increases as well. If an object’s weight is greater than the other object’s weight, then the object with the greater weight will land first.
Regarding this, does altitude affect gravity?
How does gravity changes with altitude? gravity increases with height. gravity is significantly less on high mountains or tall buildings and increases as we lose height (which is why falling objects speed up) gravity is caused by the Earth spinning.
Hereof, what are 3 factors that affect gravity? What are 3 factors that affect gravity?
- Mass of the body,
- Distance from the center of mass,
- Constant G i.e. Universal gravitational constant.
Then, what are the two factors that affect the acceleration of an object?
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables – the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
