If two planets have the same mass but different diameters Which planet has the stronger gravity at its surface?
The smaller diameter. Because the formula is G* m1 * m2 / r^2 . The gravity is negatively correlated with square of the distance between mass centers of the objects. When the distance increases the gravity decreases.
What is the differanceof the force of gravity at the earth's surface and one hundred miles away from the surfaceof the earth?
The force of gravity between the Earth and you or any other object is inverselyproportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the Earth andthe object.On the surface, that distance is the Earth's radius, let's say 3,960 miles on the average.(3,960/4,080)2 = 0.942So your weight at an altitude of 120 miles is about 5.8% less than it is on the surface.
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 determines how much gravity on a planet has?
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
Which planet has the highest surface gravity?
Jupiter has the greatest acceleration due to gravity at surface radius @ 23.1 (m / s) / s, (Compared to that at earths surface of 9.82 (m / s) / s.) The effect of a planets gravity, is a combination of its mass, and your distance from its centre. The following equation gives the force of gravity (in newtons) between two bodies. f = (G*m1*m2) / d2 G = newtons gravitational constant m1 = planets mass m2 = objects mass d = distance between centres of gravity Note; say you removed yourself to 2 * surface radius of Jupiter, the force of gravity would be 1/4 that of the surface
Is their any relation between gravity and surface area?
not particularly, essentially the effect of gravity depends on its mass and your distance from it
What tells the relationship between the distance on the map and the distances on Earth's surface?
scale
What determines how strong the force of gravity is at the surface of each planet?
The weight of an object on the surface of a planet depends on ...-- The mass of the object.-- The mass of the planet.-- The distance between the center of the object and the centerof the planet, i.e. the planet's radius.
What does scale mean in geography?
It means The relationship between distance on a map and on the earth's surface.
What show the relationship between distances on the map and the corresponding distance on earth's surface?
A map scale.
What shows the relationship between distances on the map and the corresponding distance on the earths surface?
A map scale.
What shows the relationship between distance on the map and the corresponding distances on the earth's surface?
A map scale.
What does scale mean in geography term?
It means The relationship between distance on a map and on the earth's surface.
What shows the relationship between distance on the map and the corresponding distances on earth's surface?
A map scale.
The scale shows the relationship between distance on a map and on the Earth's surface. True False?
True
How does gravity is force that acts over a distance?
OK, if the mass is small and close to the surface of the Earth, then the force of gravity is a constant downward. Two more similar sized objects show a (1/distance) squared relationship that is proportional to each mass.
Is there a difference between weight and mass?
Yes. The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity Near Earth's surface, the value for gravity is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
