Why does weight depend on where you are?
Weight is determined by mass x acceleration due to gravity. The mass of an object doesn't change; however, the acceleration due to gravity varies depending on the distance from the center of an object. A person weighs less on the top of a mountain than at the bottom of a valley. Gravity depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
How far will a rubber ball fall in ten seconds?
The distance a rubber ball falls in 10 seconds will depend on the height from which it is dropped and the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, neglecting air resistance, the general equation to calculate the distance fallen is: distance = 0.5 * acceleration due to gravity * time^2.
Does gravity depend on the planet you are on?
Yes, gravity does depend on the planet you are on. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet and your distance from its center. Therefore, gravity will be different on each planet based on these factors.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on an asteroid?
Just like any other astronomical body that you might visit, the acceleration due to gravity on the asteroid's surface is going to depend on its mass, and on the distance between your center of mass and the asteroid's center of mass. (I didn't want to say the asteroid's "radius", because many of them are notoriously unspherical and weird-shaped, like a big old Russet Burbank.)
What geographic factors does the value of gravity depend on?
The value of gravity depends on the mass of the Earth and the distance from the center of the Earth. Gravity is weaker at higher altitudes because you are farther from the Earth's center, and it is stronger at higher latitudes near the poles due to the oblong shape of the Earth.
What 3 things does gravity depend on?
The force of gravity on one object due to another object depends on the mass of each object and their separation distance.
Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?
No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.
What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?
The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. It is described by the equation f = 1 / (2π) * √(g / L), where f is the frequency, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum.
What factors does the weight of an object depend?
Mass and gravity
The relative surface gravity on earth is?
That's going to depend on 'relative' to what ?Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Earth, it's precisely 1.000, or 100% .Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Pluto, it's 16.822, or 1,682.2 % .
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
What 2 measurements does gravity depend on?
