When climber reaches the top of the mountain his weight is?
Well weight is force exerted by gravitational field on an object. So if 'g' is acceleration due to gravity and m is mass of object then weight(W) of object is W=mg But gravitational acceleration on earth is given as: g=GM/(R+h)^2 G:Gravitaional Constant value 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 M:Mass of earth value:6*10^24kg R:Radius of earth value:6.4*10^6km h:Height of object above the surface of earth At surface of earth h=0 but at peak of mountain h will have some finite value. So as h will increase, g will decrease. Due to decrease in gravitational acceleration at peak of mountain the "WEIGHT OF CLIMBER WILL DECREASE"
What is the measurement of the pull of earth's gravity on an object?
The accepted value of gravitational acceleration at sea level is 9.81m/s2 towards the centre of the earth.
What is absolute potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is defined as the work performed in moving the mass from infinity to the point concerned in the gravitational field. It will be given in negative. gravitational PE = - G M m / r^2 Here G - universal gravitational constant. M - mass which produced gravitaional field. m - the mass of the object. r - the distance of the point from the centre of the M, where the object has been borught.
What is the weight of a book that has a mass of 23 kg?
The formula that relates weight and mass is: weight = mass x gravity Near Earth, the strength of the gravitational field - the value to be used for "gravity" in the formula - is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
How do you determine value of gravitational force?
I like to use my bathroom scale. There are expensive scales that might be a little more precise. Or, if you know the mass of two bodies, say the Earth and Moon, there is a formula for calculating the force of each body on the other.
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
What is the value of gravitational field strength on a planet with half Earth's mass and half its radius?
i guess it 's 39.2n.kg
What is the value of gravitational field at infinity?
zero
What is the value of null point where the value of gravitational force of earth equals the gravitational force of moon?
It is approximatly 3.42*10^8 M away from the centre of mass of the earth
How much gravity on Venus'?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Venus is 8.858 m/s2 , so the force is 8.858 newtons (1.991 pounds) per kilogram of mass. That's 90.32% of the corresponding value on Earth. If you weigh 200 pounds here, you would weigh 180.6 pounds on Venus (not counting all the stuff you'd need to wear just to stay alive there).
Value of gravitational acceleration in centimeter per seconds squared?
On Earth, that is about 980.
If the earth were placed five times farther from the sun how would the gravitational effect of the sun on the earth change?
The gravitational force would be 1/25 of the current value. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
If the moon were twice as far from the earth as it is now the gravitational force it exert on the earth would be?
half its present value
What will the gravitational attraction between objects establish?
According to newton the gravitational attraction would establish a force strenght of which is directly proportional to the product of thier masses and inversely proportional to the square of thier distance and accelerated towards each other with a value 9.8m/s
What is the force of gravity on a 3500 g of an object?
You can convert that to kilograms (reminder: 1 kg = 1000 grams); then multiply by the value of the gravitational field, which near Earth's surface is about 9.8 newton/kilogram. This will give you the weight in newton.
Why moon has less g value then earth?
The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
Where the gravitational field strength is maximum?
value of acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the surface of earth. So the gravitational field strength. as g'=g(1-d/R) at surface d=R so d=R so g'=g at earth's centre g=0. Its value decrease with decrease or increase in height. as: g'=g(1-2h/R) ......for height h and g'=g(1-d/R) .....for depth d
