What else can I help you with?
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?
Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.
What force acts on an astronaut standing still on the moon?
Gravity, mainly that of the moon. Gravity on the Moon is a lot less than on Earth but it works in the same way.
By exerting the same force Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth Why?
Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that Steve feels less gravitational pull on the Moon, allowing him to exert the same force and achieve a greater acceleration and thus jump higher.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
Do humans weigh the same on the Moon and the Earth?
No, humans weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less gravity. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravitational force on Earth, so a person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.
Which has a weakes gravitational pull the moon or the earth?
On the moon, the gravity is not as strong as it is on Earth. This means that an object has less weight but the same mass. However, the gravity that keeps the moon and the Earth together is a balanced force - so it depends on what you mean...
Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?
The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
Does the weight of something change depending on where it is?
Yes, because if you are 90 pounds on earth you would be 15 pounds on the moon. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and the force of gravity depends on the mass of the object. The force of gravity on the earth is six times greater than that of the moon, or, the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth. On earth, a person's weight would vary slightly between sea level and the top of a mountain. This is because the force of gravity is stronger the closer an object is to the center of the earth (or moon, or planet).
