Would weightlessness be the same on the moon as it would be in space?
No. The weightlessness you experience in space is because you are essentially in freefall. Standing on the surface of the moon you would notice its gravity.
What is the difference between freefall and a non freefall?
the difference is freefall is when some object falls and non-free fall is when you through something. freefall is in a constant speed at the acceleration of 9.8m/s/s.
What does freefall acceleration depend on?
Acceleration is change in velocity. So it depends on both velocity and time.
Acceleration of freefall due to gravity?
At or near the surface of the earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . It's different at significant altitudes above the earth's surface, or on the surface of other, extraterrestrial bodies.
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?
Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.
The phase ten meters per second squared describes the?
The approximate acceleration of a body in freefall near the earths surface due to earths gravitational pull. The object in freefall gains 9.81 meters per second for every second that elapses (ignoring air resistance).
Will an object fall to the Moon's surface after being released?
If you are on or near the moon, yes. But the acceleration due to the moon's gravity is smaller than that on earth.
If an object is droppes how fast is it traveling after 1 seconds?
In freefall, an object's velocity at a certain time can be calculated using the equation v(t)=a*t Where a=acceleration. On Earth's surface, acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s^2
What is the gravity pull on your moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.623 m/s2 . (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
False
How do you solve the magnitude of the gravity on the moon?
-- Acceleration of gravity on the moon =(universal gravitational constant) x (moon's mass)/(moon's radius)2-- Gravitational force on any object sitting on the moon's surface =(Acceleration of gravity on the moon) x (mass of the object)-- Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 newton-meter2/kilogram2
