What is the relationship between gravitational force and mass for objects near the surface of earth when the slope of the graph is equal?
The answer depends on the slope of which graph.
What is the force that holds objects to Earth's surface?
It's the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between the Earth and each object.
The acceleration of gravity means that for each second that passes falling objects move 9.8 meters?
False. No, it means that, at the earth's surface, the speed increases by 9.81 m/sec. The basic relationship holds good in any gravitational field. The actual number 9.81 depends on the mass of the object causing the gravitational field and the distance between the centers of the two objects.
What evidence is there that the gravitational pull also pulls on objects closer to the surface of earth?
the objects fall to the ground
What are objects from which light can not escape because of a gravitational pull at its surface?
A black hole. However, it does not have a surface but an event horizon.
What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?
The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is the gravitational force of any objects near earth's surface?
9.8 newtons per kilogram of mass
What is the relationship between weight and capacity?
None really. If sent to the International Space Station, objects would have no weight but concave ones would have some capacity. Those same objects, back on the surface of the earth would have some weight but the same capacity as before. In stronger gravitational fields, the weight would continue to increase but there would be no change in the capacity.
Do you see signs of things being gravitationally attracted to other things on earth?
Aside from the obvious attraction between everyday objects and the planet, one cannot easily observe the gravitational attraction between objects on the planet's surface because nothing has enough mass for the force to be noticeable.
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4 percent difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object?
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4% difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object
Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?
because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.
