Do all objects fall towards the center of the earth?
All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.
Can you give me two reasons why a spaceship requires less force to take off from the moon than to take off from the earth?
The force of gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth, so a spaceship is pulled down with a smaller force. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there is no air drag to slow it down.
Is it true that the attractive force of a 70kg person exerts on the Earth is smaller than the force the earth exerts on the person?
No, it is not. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". The 70kg person is pulling just as hard on the Earth as the Earth is on the 70kg person, i.e. about 686 N.
If a person weighs 150 pounds and is standing on the floor and the floor is not moving what is the force that the floor exerts on the person?
150 lbs. In order for the floor to support you it must resist an equal force.
Go to another planet will your mass change?
Your mass will not change (unless you go on a diet). On different planets your weightwill change because you will be pulled down with a different force.
When a person pushes a crate across the floor what force is working in reaction to the pushing force?
friction
A 1 point 85 kg block is pulled across the floor by a force of 12n If there is a frictional force of 0 point 65n What is the acceleration of the block?
6.1685 metres per second....
What is the definition of applied force?
a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object
If a person pulled during rest weigh more than when pulled in not rest position?
weight is a function of (mass * acceleration due to gravity) and is a force acting toward the earths centre (vertically down) . if your pulling force is horizontal, then it wont affect the weight
Where is the resistance force when a nail is being pulled out by a hammer?
The Resistance force is the nail that is being pulled up My silly dear child, you.
What instrument measures the force of an object pulled along a surface?
A force-meter measures the force of an object pulled along a surface.
What is the net force on a cylinder that is being pulled to the right with a force of 42 N and pulled to the left with a force of 40 N?
In this case you can simply subtract the two forces.
