Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
What direction does earth pull objects?
The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.
Is the gravitational force exerted on an object by earth?
Yes
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.
What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?
The object is said to be weightless. If this occurs between the earth and the moon, the point where this occurs is called the null point.
How did eratosthenes measure the earth?
is to define the mass and the weight with measurement of the gravitational force on an object,...
What does weight measure?
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object, relevant to Earth.
The gravitational attraction between an object and the earth?
is called its weight.
What is the measurement of the pull of earth's gravity on an object?
The accepted value of gravitational acceleration at sea level is 9.81m/s2 towards the centre of the earth.
What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?
gravitational force
What is the force between an object and earth's gravity pulling on it?
Gravitational force.
What is the force with an object is pulled toward the earth do to gravity?
It is obviously a Gravitational force of attraction present between earth and object.
The amount of gravitational attraction between the earth and an object depends on the objects distance from the earth and what else?
How close the object is. and the mass of both the object and the earth.
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4 percent difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object?
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4% difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object
What instrument measures the amount of gravitational attraction between Earth and an object at rest on Earth's surface?
scale
What is the measurement of the force of gravity pulling an object toward the earth?
The strength of the gravitational forces between the Earth and an object on or near it is called the "weight" of the object. In reality, there are two equal and opposite forces going on. The Earth attracts the object toward it, with a force that is the weight of the object on Earth. At the same time, the object attracts the Earth toward it, with a force that is the weight of the Earth on the object. The forces are equal. When the object is our body, we obsess about the first one. Nobody ever talks about the second one.
