If a rock is tossed on the moon what force acts on the rock during its curved path?
gravity
What if your weight is a force acting on the rock what force acts on you?
If you sit on a rock with a downward force of 'W' pounds, then the rock exerts an upward force of 'W' pounds on your derriere. We know that the sum of the forces on the seat of your pants must be zero. Otherwise the pants would be accelerating, either up or down.
What is A force that acts on rock?
Acid rain___No, rain isn't a force in and of itself, even if it is acidic. A force by definition must be able to make an object accelerate. Gravity is a force. Magnetism is also a force that might act upon a rock, depending on its elemental makeup. Friction is a force that might slow the effects of the other two (a negative acceleration).
When you are sitting on a rock what force acts on you?
-- The force of gravity of your bottom against the rock, in the downward direction. -- The 'reaction' force of the rock against your bottom, in the upward direction. Since the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, their vector sum is zero. Some would describe this situation as "The forces on your bottom are balanced." In any case, the 'net' force on your bottom is zero, and your bottom therefore does not accelerate.
What happens if you throw a rock where gravity and friction have no influence?
If no force (gravity, friction, or any other force) acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely, without changing its velocity (i.e., speed and direction).
What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress.
What is a force that acts on a rock layer?
it is the mesosphere
What the a force that acts on a rock to change it?
Pressure and/or Heat act on a rock to change it
What is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called?
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
If a rock is tossed on the moon what force acts on the rock during its curved path?
gravity
What is the name for the force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume?
Erosion
What happens when a shear force acts on rock layers?
It breaks apart
The term that refers to the force that acts on rock to change it's shape or volume?

What if your weight is a force acting on the rock what force acts on you?
If you sit on a rock with a downward force of 'W' pounds, then the rock exerts an upward force of 'W' pounds on your derriere. We know that the sum of the forces on the seat of your pants must be zero. Otherwise the pants would be accelerating, either up or down.
What causes a rock sitting on the ground to remain in the same place unless a force acts on it?
Inertia, and Newton's First Law.
What force acts on a rock tossed on the moon?
Only gravity (however, it is smaller - it's not 9.8 m/s^2).
Does dense rock have low gravity?
No, dense rock does not have low gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all objects with mass. The density of a rock refers to its mass per unit volume, but it does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
