Why is gravity stronger in some places?

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is.

Do more dense areas have more gravity?

Sir Isaac Newton discovered that as an object’s mass increases, the gravitational attraction of that object increases. For example, a container filled with a more dense material like granite rock has more mass and thus more gravitational attraction than that same container filled with water.

Why does gravity get stronger as two masses get closer?

Objects with greater mass have a stronger force of gravity between them. For example, because Earth is so massive, it attracts you and your desk more strongly that you and your desk attract each other. Objects that are closer together have a stronger force of gravity between them.

How does altitude affect gravity?

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. gravity affects things while they are falling but stops when they reach the ground.

How does low gravity affect density?

Volume is dependent on pressure, i.e., the same mass will have a greater density if it is compressed to a smaller volume because it makes the denominator of the density equation smaller. Gravity is a force that can compress matter, so the answer to your original question is YES, gravity does affect density.

What is the relationship between density and gravity?

Density = Mass / Volume Specific gravity is the density of a substance divided by the density of water. Since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density (but without any units).

What 3 variables affect gravity?

The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them. This means that the force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.

What 2 factors affect gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational Potential Energy is determined by three factors: mass, gravity, and height.
