What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?
because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
What is the potential energy dependant upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
that would be gravity Fg = Gm1m2/r^2
What describes droplets that condense on objects at the earths surface?
Dew
What is the moisture that coats objects close to the earths surface called?
dark ages
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What is the type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from earths surface?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
How does mass and gravity distance effect gravity?
The larger the mass of an object, the greater the force it will exert on other objects. But as the distance from that object becomes greater, the gravitational pull becomes smaller. For example, the sun has a larger mass than the earth, so gravity on the suns surface would be much greater than on earths surface. Also, as you get further and further away from the earth, the less you are influenced by its gravity.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
Which planets have a surface gravity greater than earths?
All 4 gas giants : Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
