equation for total acceleration (ta) between two objects:
ta = (G*(m1+m2))/d^2
G= 6.67*10^-11
m1= mass , object 1
m2= mass , object 2
d = distance
the acceleration is shared, in ratio proportional to masses, example:
if mass 1 = 100 kg and mass 2 = 10 kg then total = 110 kg
a(mass 1) = ta * 100/110
a(mass 2) = ta * 10/110
the greater mass causes the greater acceleration in the other object
(adding the following)
above should read:
a(mass 1) = ta * 10/110
a(mass 2) = ta * 100/110
if the distance is say 0.5 metres, the the total acceleration is 2.936*10^-8
then the acceleration on the 10 kg mass = 2.669 * 10^-8 (m/s)/s
so f= ma
so f =2.669 * 10^-7 newtons
then the acceleration on the 100kg mass = 0.2669 * 10^-8 (m/s)/s
so f= m*a
so f = 2.669 * 10^-7 newtons
there's a quicker way of doing the whole thing:
use f= (G * m1 * m2)/ d^2
same masses and distance
f = 2.669 * 10^-7 newtons
sorry about that
use f = (G*m1*m2) / d^2 , here's an example.
key:
G = newtons gravitational constant = 6.672 *10^-11 (m^3/kg^-1/s^-2)
m1 = earth mass = 5.974 * 10^24 kg
m2 = spacecraft mass = 1450 kg
d = distance between cog's = 25 484 000 metres (4 * earth radius)
then f = 890 newtons
The strength of the forces in both directions between an object and the Earth is
the weight of the object on Earth, and the weight of the Earth on the object.
(They're equal.)
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The formula is W = mg, where W is weight, mis mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2 on the earth.
It is measured in units called Newtons (N). 1 N = the force of Earth's gravity on a mass of about 102g.
That is also called the object's weight.
measure pf the force of gravity acting on an object?
Weight!!!!
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
Type your answer here... it means that measure the weight of object.Because weight of an object =force of gravity acting on it
the WEIGHT of the object.
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
Yes it is.

a measure of force that tells the omount og gravity acting on an object is called
the WEIGHT of the object.
g force

That is called the weight.
Yes it is.
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
The metric unit for force - any force - is the newton.
NO, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Weight=mass x gravity
Weight is the measurement of gravitational force on an object, relevant to Earth.
