Gravity can be thought of as a force, but that is due to its effect on anything that
possesses mass and/or energy. The effect that gravity exerts on any object is
proportional to the amount of mass that is responsible for the presence of gravity
and is also proportional to the amount of mass possessed by the object experiencing
that gravitational presence.
Therefore a gravitational field will exert a greater 'force' on a greater mass. However,
mass also possesses the characteristic of inertia, which is a measure of resistance to
any change to a state of motion - which effectively is a resistance to the effect of
gravity. Inertia is also proportional to mass.
What this means is that the greater the mass, the greater the pull it experiences due
to gravity but at the same time, the greater is its resistance to that pull.
Hence all falling objects experience the same acceleration due to the effect of
gravity which is not the same as the force. All objects fall at the same rate.

(Note: Gravity does not exert the same force on all objects, which is the reason
why big people "weigh" more than smaller people do on the same planet.)

The force of attraction that all objects exert on each?
Gravity.
The force that pulls falling objects toward Earht is called?
gravity.
What is the only force affecting an object in gravity that objects is in?
Freefall this means the objects is falling through the air while gravity is pulling.
What is the relationship between the mass of two objects and the gravity they exert on one another?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses.
Why do you have to use force to lift objects?
Because there is a force of gravity constantly pulling it towards the center of earth. When you exert enough force to over come the gravity acting on an object it is lifted
How does gravity affect the veloctiy of falling objects?
The force of gravity will accelerate the falling objects towards itself.
The force of attraction that all objects exert on each?
Gravity.
Is the force that objects exert on each other because of their masses?
That would be "Gravity".
What force pulls falling objects back to earth?
gravity
When the only force affecting an objects is gravity that objects is in?
Freefall this means the objects is falling through the air while gravity is pulling.
The force that pulls falling objects toward Earht is called?
gravity.
What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?
GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.

When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the objects is said to be?
= Terminal velocity =
