Does your body exert as much force on the moon as the moon does on you?

No. It would be roughly 1/6th of what it is on earth.
Note that the force we're talking about is the force typically referred to as your "weight".
So if you weigh 100 pounds on earth, you'd weigh roughly 16.3 pounds on the moon.
(Not including your space suit, oxygen tank, heater, lead boots, etc.)

∙ 14y agoYes. It's also the same force that causes water to run down the drain, a Golf ball to fall into
the cup, a roller coaster to pick up speed on the way down from the big hill, and tables and
chairs to stay on the floor.

The centripetal force provided by the earths rotational velocity is precisely enough to overcome the force of gravitational attraction between them.

The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?
The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.
How much force does Rudolf exert if he pulls a A kg sleigh with a constant acceleration of 2 M's?
Force = mass x acceleration Force = Akg x 2m/s^2 Unit for force here is in Newtons (N)
Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
How much force is exerted per footstep?
In normal walking, it should be about equal to your weight spread over the square area of contact with the ground. Hence an 80 kg man with a 100 cm2 footprint would exert 0.8 kg/cm2 where a woman with a smaller footprint due to shoe design might exert twice this force.
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
Why does the exert a stronger gravitational force than the moon?
Though the moon is closer, it is relatively small compared to the sun. The sun is much larger and exerts a far stronger gravitational force.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
When you stand on a floor, the force that you exert on the floor because of your weight is equal to the force with which the floor supports your weight.
How much force exert when lifting an object?
a force of depend on mass
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
What is musculear strength?
How much force you can exert at one time.
How much force does one exert when lifting an object?
The force would be the weight of the object.
Why does earth exert a stronger gravitational force than the monn?
The bigger an object is, the more gravity it has! Earth is much bigger than the moon, therefore it has stronger gravity.
How much force can human body exert on a surfboard?
The force that a human body can exert on a surfboard is its weight. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body's mass, and is determined by multiplying the acceleration due to gravity (g), 9.81m/s2, times the person's mass in kilograms. The unit for weight is the Newton (N). For example, if a person has a mass of 75.5kg, his weight in Newtons will be 75.5kg x 9.81m/s2 = 741N.
Does Earth exert a upward or downward force on your body?
Earth exerts a downward (towards the ground or Earth) force on your body. At the same time, your body exerts an upward (towards your body) force on the Earth. Your body is the one that seems to move, however, because the mass of your body is so much less than the mass of the Earth.
How much force can you exert on a piece of paper?
As much as is available. That of course does not mean the paper can withstand it.
If you were in orbit how much force would you exert on a scale?
In orbit your weight is zero.
The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?
The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.
