Examples of 'gravitational mass' in a sentence

Meaning of "gravitational mass"

gravitational mass - This phrase describes the mass of an object as influenced by gravity, specifically referring to the amount of matter in an object that determines its gravitational attraction to other objects. It is a concept commonly used in physics and astronomy to study gravitational interactions and forces between celestial bodies

  • The mass of an object as measured by its interaction with gravity; it is equal to its inertial mass.
