What else can I help you with?
What would happen to your weight if earth shrunk?
Depends what you're asking...If the earth was smaller but not you, you would weigh the same. It's just like if the USA or Britain smaller than now or shrunk, we would be the same.
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
What measurement is affected by gravity?
The weight of an object is the measurement that is affected by gravity. Gravity is what gives objects weight, causing them to be pulled downwards towards the Earth.
What affects weight?
Weight is affected by gravity. Gravity pulls you down causing you to have weight on Earth. Depending on gravity your weight changes. On earth gravity is 9.8 m/s squared.
What property of an object is affected by gravity?
The weight of an object is the property affected by gravity. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, causing it to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
How are objects around you affected by mass of earth?
The objects around you are affected by the mass of the Earth through gravity. The Earth's mass creates a gravitational pull that attracts objects towards its center. This gravitational force keeps objects on the surface of the Earth and determines their weight.
What would Earth's radius be if it was shrunk by 96 percent?
The Earth's radius would be a mere 158 miles (254 km) if it was shrunk by 96%, remaining large enough to maintain its hydrostatic equilibrium.
Is mass and weight affected on the moon by gravity?
Yes, both mass and weight are affected by gravity on the moon. Mass remains the same because it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight changes because it depends on the gravitational force acting on an object. As gravity on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person would weigh less on the moon compared to on Earth.
Is there any difference in weight on earth with change in position of a man?
Yes there is. Weight it is affected by distance form the centre of the earth. Because the world is not a perfect sphere, a man is further from the centre of the earth when he is nearer the equator and so lighter. He is also lighter when he is at a greater altitude.Weight is also affected by localised masses. If there is a really large lump of metal underneath the man, he will be heavier. Aquifers also affect the weight.
Why is weight not the same as mass?
For example, the same object (with the same mass) will be affected differently by Earth's gravity, and by the lesser gravity on the Moon (i.e., its weight will change).
An object's mass is affected by earth's pull on it?
The mass of an object remains constant regardless of the force acting on it, including Earth's gravitational pull. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the force exerted on an object by gravity, which can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational field (like on different planets).
