Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Why does earth exert a greater gravitational force on you than other objects do?
Because it's both massive and close by. Newton's law of gravitation states that gravity becomes stronger the more massive the object, and the closer it is.
What never changes when two or more objects collide?
The total momentum of all the objects does not change when two or more objects collide together. An object that is smaller in mass can not have more momentum after the collusion.
How are all the planets in the solar system similar?
No - the moons in my solar system are not similar in appearance. Most are spherical (if the are big enough) but some, like the 2 moons of Mars, are more potato shaped, since they are not big enough to have enough gravity to form spheres.
What has the most gravity in the universe?
Perhaps the most massive of all "singular" objects in the universe is a super-massive black hole.Certainly a galaxy that has many black holes in it and billions and billions of stars has more mass and more gravity than any star or smaller galaxy. But as regards "point objects" in our uinverse. The most massive black holes, the so-called super-massive black holes, are the ones with the most gravity.
How does the mass of an object affect its collision?
More massive objects have more relative inercia.
What is the path followed by a celestial body or satellite as it revolves and a more massive object?
All orbits are ellipses.
True or False Lighter objects have less inertia than heavy objects?
True. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
Why are some stars called moons?
They aren't. Stars and moons are two different types of object. A moon is an object that orbits a planet or similar object. A star is a far more massive object that emits its own light.
Explain how mass and the distance of an object from other objects affect its gravitational force?
The farther away the objects are the weaker the pull of gravity is. Also, the more massive an object is, the stronger the gravitional pull is.
How does the weight of an object affect the speed?
That depends on the situation. But more massive and heavy objects are typically more difficult to move around quickly.
How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
A very massive object A and a less massive object B move toward each other under the influence of gravitation Which force if either is greater?
If gravity is moving the objects toward each other, a massive body (i.e. the earth) will be in the way. If the objects are at the same ditance from this body, a greater force is exerted on object A.
The same force is constantly applied to two movable objects the more massive object will?
Accelerate less than the object with the smaller mass, as per Newton's 2nd Law.
Does a more massive object weigh more than less massive one?
If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.
What was Aristotle's belief regarding falling objects with different masses?
More massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.
How did albert Einstein think of gravity?
He thought that the fabric of space-time left a dent with things of greater mass. Therefore, objects of less mass would be pulled toward the more massive object. That's why the moon orbits Earth. The moon comes close enough to the earth because it has more mass. :D
