but it says here: http://novan.com/weight.htm The truth is that both the heavy body and the light body have exactly the same amount of gravitational force being exerted on each one of their most “elemental particles”.

Yes, that is why they weigh more.

The article you offer is correct, this is shown by the different weights of different sized people, the net force on the scale is greater the greater the mass, in free fall in a gravitational field however, the acceleration is the same for any object, disregarding air resistance.

well the basic principal is F=ma with F(force)=mass(how much the person weighs in kilograms)xacceleraltion due to gravity being 9.81m/s2. The actual graviational "pull"/acceleration is the same no matter how big the object is ie it is always 9.81m/s2 on earth. The Force though will be greater with a person who weighs more or an object that has a greatrer mass.
Eg
F=ma\
=(50.0kg)*9.81m/s2
F=490.5kgm/s2
F=490.5 Nwetons
so obviuosly if you weighed one kilo your force would be less than an object with a mass of say 50kg.
Hope that helps, been a few years sinmce I did physics at university!

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

No, the gravitational pull is the exactly the same.What makes the difference is the amount of mass that each object has,
according to Newton`s Law.It`s unreasonable to think that the
gravitational pull can distinguish the mass &/or specific gravity of any substance.

Technically, the gravitation pull is the same. This can be seen in a vaccum where there is no air resistance. In this vaccum, two different objects fall and reach the ground at the same time. Because our environment is not a vaccum, there is air resistance, two different objects do not reach the ground at the same time. The object that has more weight will reach the ground first.

The Singularity on the middle of the Black hollow has the comparable mass, and consequently the comparable gravity because of fact the action picture star it got here from. the only difference is which you will get plenty nearer to the middle of mass of the Singularity and nonetheless have all the mass of the Singularity in front of you. And, as you recognize, gravity is better the nearer you get to the middle of mass of an merchandise. the gap from the Singularity of a small great-huge Black hollow from its journey Horizon is purely approximately 0.5 the gap from the Earth to the Moon. The action picture star it got here from became many situations bigger and extra huge than our very own solar. the closest you have gotten to the unique action picture star could have been the outdoors of that action picture star, which could have been many, many thousands of situations farther removed from the middle of mass of the action picture star than the form Horizon is removed from the ensuing Singularity. extremely, the gravity is so sturdy on the form Horizon because of fact it is so on the edge of the middle of mass of the Singularity. .

When broken down to elemental partical the gravity would be the same because they are maid of the same elements. However the wieght of the pearson isn't the only info you need to answer this question you also need the desity size and how cute she is ;)

yes, gravitational pull is based upon mass and mass is what heavy people have a lot of

Yes.The acceleration due to gravity is the same but the force due to gravity is more.
