About how much is the Moon's gravitational force compares to the earths?
The weight of any object on the surface of the moon is 16.55% of its weight on the surface of the Earth.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
What is the weight of a 1kg object on the surface of the moon?
0.166 kg
Why is the weight of an object on earths different from its weight on the moon?
Weight = mass x gravityThe mass of the same object, taken to the Moon, will basically not change. The Moon's gravitational field, however, is less - about 1/6 that of the Earth.
What is the effect of the gravity of the moon at 9000 km from the surface?
I found the radius of the moon listed on line as 1,738 km.So the weight of any object at 9,000 km from the moon's surface is(1,738/9,000+1,738)2 = 2.62 % of the object's weight on the surface.
Why can you stand on the earths surface but not the Moon's surface?
You can stand on the moon surface if you can get there
An object has a mass of 180kg on the moon what is the force of gravity acting on the object of the moon?
The weight of a 180-kg mass on the surface of the moon, rounded, is 292.1 newtons (65.67 pounds) .
What is the weight of a 10kg object on the moon?
When at sea level are you closer to the earths core or the Moon's surface?
Moon
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
What object would not be considered a satellite?
earths moon
