Q:
Is the gravitational force acting on a person who weighs 80kg the same as on a person who weighs 40kg?
A:
The gravitational force is greater on an object with more mass. Gravity causes the same acceleration on all objects. But, force equals mass times acceleration. So, an object with more mass has a greater force acting on it.
