You mean a device something like a bathroom scale, that displays the magnitude
of the force with which its top and bottom platforms are being squeezed toward
each other ? There's no reason to expect that it would perform that function any
differently from the way it does it when it's on the floor of your bathroom. Except
that there might be some surprising results. For example, if one of the "mission
specialists" put it on the floor of the space shuttle and stood on it, it would read
zero. In fact, she would have a hard time even standing on it, because she would
have no weight, and every time her toe twitched, she would float away from the
scale. In order to stay put, she would have to reach up and push on the ceiling,
and when she did that, the scale would simply read the force with which she was
pushing on the ceiling.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth were placed in Pluto's orbit?
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the suns and earth if earth were placed in Pluto's orbit?
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planet's force of gravity were stronger than the object's inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit?
The magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth would decrease if Earth was placed in Pluto's orbit. This is because the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so as Earth moved farther away from the sun (as in Pluto's orbit), the gravitational force would weaken.
What would most likely happen if there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon?
If there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon, it would no longer be held in orbit around the Earth and would drift off into space.
If you were in orbit how much force would you exert on a scale?
In orbit, you would not exert any force on a scale since you are in free fall. This is because both you and the scale would be experiencing the same gravitational force, causing you to float weightlessly.
What would happen if gravity were not a force acting between Earth and the sun?
If gravity were not a force between Earth and the sun, Earth would move in a straight line tangential to its orbit instead of orbiting around the sun. This would cause Earth to drift off into space, no longer held in orbit by the sun's gravitational pull.
What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.
Why does an object in orbit needs a centripetal force act?
An object in orbit needs a centripetal force to keep it moving in a circular path. Gravity provides this centripetal force, pulling the object towards the center of the orbit. Without this force, the object would continue in a straight line tangent to the orbit.
Would a nine meter force applied 2 meter from the fulcrum lift the weight?
No sweat. Piece o' cake. Bring it on! What's a "nine meter force" ? ?
