Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
If your mass on earth is m your mass at a distance of 3 earth radii from the center of the earth will be while your weight will be?
-- If your mass is 'm', then your mass is 'm', regardless of whether you're on the earth,2 earth radii out in space, or on the moon. Mass doesn't change.-- On the surface, your distance from the center of the earth is 1 earth radius. Weight isinversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the earth, so at adistance of 3 earth radii from the center, your weight is 1/32 = 1/9th of your weight on thesurface. If your mass is 'm' then your weight on the surface is mg = 9.8m newtons, and at3 earth radii from the center it's 1.089m newtons (rounded).
If the earths mass doubles and your mass doubles how far from the center of the earth do you have to move so that tour weight will be the same as what it was before the masses changed?
You would have to double your distance from the center of the earth, or about 4,000 miles off the surface.
How does pressure changes as you go from the surface to the center of the earth?
As you travel from the surface to the center of the Earth, pressure will increase enormously, because of the increasing weight of what is above you.
How does the gravity of the planet vary with their weight?
The higher you go above the surface of a planet the weaker gravity gets. More specifically, the strength of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of your distance from the planet's center.
The average position of the distribution of the weight of an object is?
Center of gravity is the average position of the distribution of the weight of an object. For objects near the earth's surface, center of gravity is the same location as center of mass. This is because weight and mass are proportional.
What is potential energy dependent an object's weight and distance from earth's surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
Why does your weight appear to change evrn though you never left earths gravity?
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but your weight will change depending on the distance from Earth's center. The force of gravity depends on distance.
Where in the Earth would you weigh the most 5km above the surface of the Earth 5km below the surface of the Earth at the center of the Earth on the Earths surface?
You would weigh the most on the surface, where the most gravitational energy is below you.As you enter the Earth, gravitational force is also exerted from the mass above, meaning that when you reach the center, the gravitational force will be equal from all directions, leaving you weightless.As you depart the surface of the Earth, you will lose weight as the gravitational force weakens with distance.
Weight of a person in artificial satellite?
Nil Weight
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
