Yes, it is not a constant. The force of gravity is related to the distance from the centre of the earth so that the force of gravity will be slightly reduced at altitudes. Also, the earth is not a perfect sphere - it bulges at the equator and is flatter at the poles. So the force of gravity will be greater at the poles. The force of gravity is also affected by what is under the surface: if standing over dense rocks, the force will be greater. Finally, the force of gravity is also higher after heavy rainfall. [I guess that is because the water fills up all the air gaps in the soil and so increases its density.]
What else can I help you with?
Does gravity decrease or increase if earths mass doubled?
More mass --> more gravity.
If the universe expands would the earths gravity decrease?
no
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.
How do you increase and decrease gravity?
To increase gravity, you would need to increase the mass of the object or planet exerting the gravitational force. To decrease gravity, you would need to reduce the mass of the object or planet exerting the gravitational force. Another way to decrease gravity is by increasing the distance between the objects experiencing the gravitational force.
Does pressure and temperature increase or decrease with depth below earths surface?
it increases
Do earthly objects decrease in size on planets with greater gravity?
No. They increase in weight.
What causes skateboard speed to increase or decrease?
Gravity, friction, or wind drag.
How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?
You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.
When does the force of gravity becomes greater?
Either if you decrease the distance, or if you increase one or the other of the masses.
How does changing mass affect the force of gravity?
Increasing mass will increase the force of gravity, as gravity is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. Conversely, decreasing mass will decrease the force of gravity acting on an object.
As the mass of two objects increases the pull of gravity between the objects increase or decrease?
As the mass of two objects increases, the pull of gravity between them also increases. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the larger the mass of the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
Does the force of gravity decrease as the mass of objects increase?
No, the force of gravity increases as the mass of the object increases. force of gravity is a constant 9.8 meters/second^2 Terminal velocity will cause heavier objects to fall faster than lighter objects depending on their relative effective densities and shapes.
