The force of gravity on Mercury is about 3.7 meters per second squared, or 3.7 N/kg. The force of gravity on an object on Mercury will depend on the object's mass.
That's a very low weight; approximately the weight of a small baby. Anyway, gravity on Earth is 9.8 newton/kilogram, gravity on Mercury is 3.7 newton/kilogram. You can write a proportion for that; or else you can first work out the mass, then use this to calculate the weight on Mercury.
The gravitational field is NOT measured in newtons - the newton is a unit of force. Valid units are newtons / kilogram, or the equivalent meters / second2. At its surface, Mercury's gravitational field is 3.7 meters/second2, which is the same as 3.7 newtons/kilogram.
On Mercury, 1kg would weigh approximately 3.7 Newtons. This is due to the lower gravitational pull on Mercury compared to Earth (approximately 38% of Earth's gravity).
The acceleration due to gravity on Mercury is approximately 3.7 m/s^2. To calculate the force of gravity (weight) in Newtons, one would multiply an object's mass in kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity (3.7 m/s^2).
It was first fully explained by Newtons theory of gravity and laws of motion, but the theory built on previous work by Kepler.
On Venus, the acceleration due to gravity is about 8.87 m/s^2. Since weight (in newtons) is equal to mass (in kg) multiplied by acceleration due to gravity, the weight of 1 kg on Venus would be 8.87 newtons.
38% of earth's gravity
The force of gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 newtons per kilogram.
Newtons.
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mercury is 3.7 m/sec2. The force on a mass on the planet's surface depends on the size of the mass. The magnitude of the force, in newtons, is (3.7) times (the object's mass).
Gravity is were an object (such as an apple or YOU!) is pulled towords the center of the earth. We feel gravity but we are used to it therefore we don't notce it. Isaac Newton was the first to call Gravity, gravity, and called te units we mease it in after him(newtons)
