Why does the acceleration of a body decrease under the surface of the earth?
it is closer to the core so there is less "pull" on the said body.
If something on earth weighs 100 newtons what is that on the moon?
Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons. You may ask "Why?". Look at the equation of Force: Force = mass x acceleration F=m.a The mass remains the same in both cases (moon surface or earth surface). The acceleration is the only parameter that changes. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 6 times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon. Hope that helps.
What will be the mass of a body at the centre of the earth as compared to other places on the earth?
Mass is conserved which means that a body will have the same mass wherever it goes. But at the centre of a masive sphere the body has no gravity acting on it so its weight is zero. At an intermediated radius the force on it is obviously less than at the surface, and Isac Newton proved that a body at a given distance inside a sphere feels a gravitational force from a sub-sphere of radius equal the distance of the body from the centre. In other words the body feels no gravity from the shell outside its own radius.
Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
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.

Why does a body weighs nothing during a free fall?
because gravity pulls an object to earth in which body not lose weighs
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What is the force of gravity at the surface on mercury for example what would a 100-pound person weigh on in mercury?
The acceleration of gravity on Mercury's surface, and therefore the weight of anyobject located there, is 37.7% of its value on the surface of the Earth. It followslogically that a person whose body weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surfacewould weigh 37pounds 11.2ounces on the surface of Mercury just before it beganto vaporize in the bright sunshine there.

What are the two categories of seismic?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.

Where are metal ores located?

How much will be the body of weight 35 newton weight in water if it displace 1 liter of water?
1 litre of water has around 1 kilogram of mass. On earth, that mass of waterweighs 9.8 newtons.A body that weighs 35 newtons in vacuum (or air) will weigh (35 - 9.8) = 25.2 newtonsin water.
How do you convert kilograms to newtons?
Kilograms to Newtons, just multiply the Mass in kilograms by 9.81 and you will have your Newtons True on the surface of the earth, but nowhere else. These things are different, like a cat is not like a drop of water, So they are not inter-convertible. The gravitational force (in Newtons) on a mass (in kg) is its mass multiplied by the local value of the acceleration due to gravity.
