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.
What is the difference between the gravitational attraction of objects on earth and objects on the moon?
the difference between the gravitational pull on th eearth and moon is 1/6th. The gravitational pull on the earth is 6 times more than the garvitational pull of the moon. If some one weighs 36 kgs on earth then the weight on moon will be 6 kgs.
Why is there a difference between your weight on earth then your weight on the moon?
Mass is a universal unit. It does not change depending on your location because the amount of matter something is made of does not change from location to location. Weight is a much more relative unit. Weight is related to gravity as opposed to the amount of mass making up something. On the moon has approximately 1/6 the gravity of Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 120 pounds on Earth you would weigh 20 pounds on the moon. Because earth's gravitational pull is stronger than the moon's.
Your weight is a force caused by?
The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
The gravitational attraction between an object and the earth?
is called its weight.
Is weight the amount of gravitational force between it and earth?
yes
What is the weight difference on mercury?
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
What is the gravitational attraction of apple on the Earth?
The gravitational attraction of an apple on Earth is approximately 1 Newton, which is equivalent to the weight of the apple. This force is a result of the gravitational pull between the apple and Earth.
The force of gravity on you from the earth?
The gravitational forces between me and the Earth can be called "my weight on Earth" or "Earth's weight on me". They're equal, and the label doesn't matter.
What causes matter on earth to have weight?
The weight of an object on Earth is caused by the gravitational force between the object and Earth's mass. The gravitational force pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, giving them weight. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on it due to gravity.
How does gravity affect your weight?
Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.
