Where is the object that the earth moves around located?
Center of the Solar SystemThe object that the earth moves around, which is the sun, is located at the center of our galaxy.
What object is in the center of a geocentric system?
earth
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.
What is the center of gravity for a spherical object?
If the object is homogeneous, its center of mass is in its geometrical center. And if it is small compared to Earth, its center of gravity is, for all practical purposes, its center of mass.
What is the force that pulls an object to the center of the earth?
gravity
What factor affects the size of the force between Earth and an object?
-- the mass of the object -- the distance between the object and the earth's center (or the object's height off the surface)
The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?
The center of the Earth.
Which is the force that pulls objects toward centre of the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.Isaac Newton developed this concept.Gravity. The Earth has more mass than the object, it pulls it towards its' center.
What is a apogee?
An apogee is the point in the orbit of an object (such as a moon or a spacecraft) where it is furtherest from the center or surface of the object it is orbiting. The apogee of the moon is when it is furtherest from the earth's center.
weight?
The gravitational pull acting on an object towards the earth's center.
Which best explains why the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The earth is not a perfect sphere. The spin of the earth causes it to buldge out at the equator, which means the equator is further from the center of the earth then the poles are. The further an object is from the center of mass of another object, the less effect the gravity of those objects will have on each other. So at the equator, an object is being effected less by the gravity of the earth then it is at the poles.
What is ther weight of earth?
The mass of the Earth is about 5.97 times 10 to the 24th power kilograms. The Earth has no weight, because it is orbiting in 'free fall' around the Sun. Like other objects in space, the Earth is weightless. Weight is measured as the force of gravity pulling an object toward a much larger object's center. (Like the center of the Earth, the center of the Moon, the center of Pluto, and so on)
