When a astronaut is in space her body is acted upon by increased gravitational force from the earth?
No, it would be with a decreased force of gravity.
How does the earths radius affect the gravitational force on a object at its surface?
The Earth and the object exert a gravitational force on each other, but only the Earth's is big enough to measure. So, the formula for gravitational force include the distance from one body's surface to its center and the same for the other body. The length of the radius is directly proportional to the body's gravitational force.
What does gravity Change on the body when you leave Earth?
Because gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and the strength of the force depends on the distance between them. If the Earth is one of the objects and the other one leaves the Earth, then the force of gravity it feels is certainly going to change.
Does moon have gravitational force?
Every heavenly body due their mass have gravitational force. Since the moon is significantly less massive than Earth gravity on the moon is weaker than it is on Earth.
Why are things lighter on the moon than on earth?
Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you, and your distance from it. The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and the earth when you're on it.
Does Earth exert a upward or downward force on your body?
Earth exerts a downward (towards the ground or Earth) force on your body. At the same time, your body exerts an upward (towards your body) force on the Earth. Your body is the one that seems to move, however, because the mass of your body is so much less than the mass of the Earth.
What is the gravitational force between the earth and a body called?
It's called the force of gravity.
What is the force of gravitation between the earth and a body at the centre of earth?
The gravitational force between the earth and a body at the center of the earth would be 0 Newtons or 0 lbf. F=G (m1*m2)/r^2 r = zero if the center of the body is at the center of the earth
Describe gravity in terms of force?
gravity is the force by which the earth or any heavenly body attracts a mass towards its centre. the gravitational force depends on the mass of the heavenly body and the mass of the other body on which it acts. the gravitational force of the earth is 9.8 newtons. on a mass of 7 kgs on earth,the force would be 9.8 by 7 that is 68.6 newtons.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
GRAVITY?
The force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass
The attraction or pull of a persons body toward the Earth by the earth is called weight The reaction to this force is the?
Both forces can be called "weight".The gravitational force that attracts a person's body toward earth is calledthe person's weight on the earth.The gravitational force that attracts the earth toward a person's body could becalled the earth's weight on the person's body.The forces are both there, and they're equal.
What is the force that pulls the freely falling body towards the earth is called?
Gravitational Force
How is weight a force?
because it is experienced by pull of earth.weight of a body is equal to force by which earth pulls body towards its centre
What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?
The gravitational constant on Earth is 10 Newtons per kg (well exactly about 9.81 Newtons)
Is gravitational force due to magma inside earth?
No, the gravitational force of the Earth, or any body in the Universe, is because of the mass of that body...... the amount of matter the body comprises. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational tug.
Why is your entire body not attracted towards the earth?
The Earth is not a magnet that may attract a body to the ground. The force of gravity of the Earth is balanced by the force of gravity of the other planets and the Sun. So you can walk. ( Einstein's famous equation.)
