Gravitational Mass

Gravitational mass is defined by newtons law of gravitational. The gravitation pull the earth of mass M and radius R on a body of mass m is given.

This article is about the scientific concept. For the substance of which all physical objects consist, see Matter. For other uses, see Mass (disambiguation).

In physics, mass (from Greek μᾶζα "barley cake, lump (of dough)"), more specifically inertial mass, can be defined as a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to acceleration. In addition to this, gravitational mass can be described as a measure of magnitude of the gravitational force which is
exerted by an object (active gravitational mass), or
experienced by an object (passive gravitational force)
