Question

gravitational force
gravity & mass
the more mass an object has, the more gravitational force it exerts on other objects.

• the amount of matter in an object is its mass.
• really big objects that have a large mass, like the sun and earth, have a very strong gravitational pull.

more mass 100 kg
more gravitational force
less mass 50 kg
less gravitational force
what would have more gravitational force:
a cube made of modeling clay or a cube made of iron? why?

Explanation:

Gravitational force depends on an object's mass. For same-sized cubes, iron has a higher density than modeling clay, so the iron cube will have more mass. More mass means a stronger gravitational force.

Answer:

The iron cube would have more gravitational force. This is because, for cubes of the same size, iron is denser than modeling clay, so the iron cube has greater mass, and greater mass corresponds to stronger gravitational force.
