- Thruth or false 1. The gravitational field is a vector quantity. 2. You spin around your head a small mass on a rope. If you increase the radius while maintaining the same pull force on the string, you will see the frequency of the mass decrease. 3. All masses (even a person!) generate their own gravitational fields. 4. There is a point between two masses where the gravitational field is zero. 5. A mass requires a gravitational field only in space. 6.
