Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What is the potential energy dependant upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
that would be gravity Fg = Gm1m2/r^2
What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?
Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.
What is featured sculpted on earths surface by internal or external forces?
buthole
A 2kg is dropper from a height of 1000m what is the force of air resistance on the obhect when it raches terminal velocity?
When it reaches terminal velocity it is not accelerating. According to newton's 2nd law, if acceleration = 0, then Net force = 0 If we call up to be positive direction Net force = -mg + Force air resistance = 0 So the air resistance force would be equal in magnitude to m*g and opposite in direction. m is mass of object, g is about 9.81 for objects near earths surface
Velocity parallel to earths surface?
gravity
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
What describes droplets that condense on objects at the earths surface?
Dew
What is the moisture that coats objects close to the earths surface called?
dark ages
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
Is the higher on earths surface the greater the objects potential energy is?
Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
What is the potential energy dependant upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
that would be gravity Fg = Gm1m2/r^2
