What else can I help you with?
How is gravity and weight?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
What happens when you drop an object?
When you drop an object, it falls due to gravity. The speed at which it falls depends on the object's mass and the force of gravity. If there is no air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight, as described by the acceleration due to gravity.
What is in the center of gravity?
The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.
What causes the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is caused by the gravitational force acting on it. The weight of an object is the force exerted by gravity on the mass of the object. It is measured in units of force, such as pounds or newtons.
How is weight related to gravitational force?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
What stays the same when weight changes with gravity?
When weight changes due to gravity, mass remains the same. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. So, when the gravitational force changes, the weight of an object changes, but its mass remains constant.
True or false An object weight can change depending on gravity?
That is true! Weight is how much gravity is pulling on an object. For example, on the moon, an object will weigh about 6 times less than it does on Earth. Mass, on the other hand, stays the same ALL THE TIME, no matter where you are.
What if there's more gravity on earth?
weight of all object on the earth will increase,will attract more object from space towards it.
Why doesn't weight change the speed an object falls at?
Weight does not affect the speed at which an object falls because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their weight. This acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth. The force of gravity acting on the object is proportional to its weight, but it is cancelled out by the object's inertia and acceleration, resulting in all objects falling at the same rate.
Is it true that on a level surface applied forces equals weight?
No, on a level surface, the sum of all applied forces equals zero if the object is not accelerating. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
How can you locate the center of gravity?
The center of gravity of an object can be located by finding the point where the weight of the object is evenly distributed in all directions. This point is usually the point of intersection for all the lines of action of the object's weight. In simpler terms, it is the point at which the object would balance perfectly in any direction.
What is the point at which all the weight of an object seems to act?
An objects weight is evenly distributed around its center of gravity or center of mass. Imagine you attach a string to some random point on an object and then let the object hang while holding onto the string. It happens that the center of gravity of the object will always be directly below the point where the string is attached to the object. In fact, this is a good method by which to manually determine the center of gravity of an object. Another way to think about it is this. If you were to apply a force to an object at some random point, in general, not only would the force cause the object to accelerate but the force would also tend to cause the object to rotate. However if you apply the force at the object's center of mass, the object would not tend to rotate in any way, it would only accelerate in the direction of the force.
