What causes freefall?
Freefall is caused by the gravitational attraction of the earth which accelarates every body towards its centre.
What is mass according to physics?
Mass is a property of matter that causes two things: 1) gravitational attraction, and 2) inertia.
What gravitational exist between you and every object in the universe?
"attraction"
What effect would increasing the mass of two object have on gravitational attraction between them?
the gravitational attraction would increase, because the more mass something has the more gravitational pull it has.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
What causes things to fall to the ground at different speed?
Gravitational force of attraction....
Does the gravitational attraction on an object increase or decrease with and increase in altitude?
it makes no difference you will still weigh the same
What causes the tides the rise and fall of sea water everyday?
The gravitational attraction from the Moon and Sun, causes the tides.
What causes the difference in tide heights?
The gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon, and their varying positions.
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
What effect would decreasing the mass of two object have on gravitational attraction between them?
The gravitational attraction between two objects is proportional to the product oftheir two masses. So if you decrease the mass of either one, the force decreases,and if you decrease the masses of both of them then the force by George decreasesfor two separate reasons.
What causes freefall?
Freefall is caused by the gravitational attraction of the earth which accelarates every body towards its centre.
What is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?
If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.
What is the gravitational pull of objects called?
Gravitational attraction.
What is mass according to physics?
Mass is a property of matter that causes two things: 1) gravitational attraction, and 2) inertia.
Who developed gravitational attraction?
No one developed gravitational attraction. Gravity is a built-in characteristic of the physics of our world and everything in it.
If Neptune's mass were reduced what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and the Sun?
Decrease the distance between Neptune and the sun
