Gravity and Gravitation Force?

Question

Are Gravity and Gravitation Force different? If so, what's the difference??

It should be gravitational force

It should be gravitational force

Answer 1

The sea contains water and as you go deeper you can feel the water pressure. A planet exhibits gravity (due to its mass)and as you get closer you can feel its gravitational force (and your weight increases). Even on earth, you weigh less on top of a mountain than at sea level. Gravitational force varies as the inverse square law.

Answer 2

The only difference you might find is in some equations. Gravity/gravitational force can be referred to as either "g" or "G". In these references, "g" denotes earth's gravity while "G" is the universal gravitational constant.
the use of g equals 32 feet/sec^2
while G , or the force of G is
F=G*((m1+m2)/d^2)
F is the force of attraction between two bodies:
G is the universal gravitational constant or 6.66742*10^(-11) Nm^2kg^(-2),
m1 is mass of body 1, m2 is mass of body 2,
and d is distance between the centers of the two bodies--sometimes r^2[radius]is substituted for d^2.

Answer 3

In classical physics, gravity and gravitational force both describe the force of attraction between bodies, or masses, in the universe. Gravity is the term ordinarily used to describe this force when it is between the earth and bodies close to it or on it, but it is no different than gravitational force. In other systems of physics, such as quantum mechanics or relativity, this force is viewed differently, but the attraction between any masses, whatever it is called and however it is explained, of course still exists in the same magnitude.

Answer 4

Gravity is defined as a force so it is the same as Gravitational Force.

Answer 5

There is no difference between Gravity &Gravitational force.
GRAVITY is the force acting between the Earth & other bodies
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE is acting between any two objects of cosmos.So GRAVITY is also a GRAVITATIONAL FORCE.

Answer 6

Gravity is the force of gravitation exerted by earth on its near by object like on us and on a ball . But gravitation is the real force this is the force every mass exerts and depends inversly to the squre of distance between the masses
INDEED THE TWO ARE SAME BUT EARTHS GRAVITATIONAL FORCE IS WRITTEN AS GRAVITY OR CALLED GRAVITY. OK I THINK U ARE SATISFIED bye

Answer 7

gravity is the name of graviational force acting on the smaller particle .i.e the gravitational attraction of the mass of the earth, the moon, or a planet for bodies at or near its surface.

Ever heard of moon's gravity. (This is for all the people saying only earth's gravitational force is called gravity.

But in reality ,gravitational force is the superset ,to which the set gravity belongs.

Answer 8

Gravity and Gravitational Forces are different.

Gravity is something by virtue of which a body of lower mass is attracted towards a body of bigger mass. e.g. we are pulled towards the earth.

Gravitational Force is the measure of the Force of Gravity. This is measured in relation of the masses of the two objects and the mutual distance between them.

Answer 9

2 "things" attract themselves with a force greater with their bigger mass and less with the distance between them..so that's the gravitational force(ex: between moon and earth)
gravity is the force that keeps us on the surface of the earth...so there is a gravitational acceleration(=9.8 m/s*s) i hope
and one more thing...theese forces cannot be decribed withoit a point of reference
THE MORE DENSE OR HEAVY IS A THING THE GREATER ITS GRAVITY IS!
(sorry for my inglish, goodluck with your answer)

Answer 10

yes both r diff.
Grav. force is force of attraction bet^n us &earth(unit- N)
gravity is actually gravitational intensity
i.e. grav. force per unit mass(unit- N/kg)
