The placement of the center of gravity (CG) and the center of lift (CL) affects pitch stability. When engineers design an airplane, it is usually designed so the center of gravity is placed forward of the center of lift. With this "built in stability" if a plane goes into an abrupt dive, the aerodynamic forces will bring the nose back up to level flight.
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
It is 3.055.<-not a decimal just a period
Obtain a irregular 2-dimensional object that is easily handled. A piece of plywood would do nicely.Hang the object from various locations about the perimeter and draw a vertical line from the point of suspension to the opposite side of the object.Repeat this many times and you should note that all the lines intersect at the same point. This will be the center of gravity.Hang the object from the center of gravity, if you are using plywood a hook screw would do nicely. If you have the center of gravity then the object should hang horizontally.
Venus has a gravity that is approximately 0.91 times that of Earth's gravity. Since Jupiter's gravity is about 24.79 m/s², Venus's gravity being 0.35 times that of Jupiter would be around 8.67 m/s². Given that Earth's gravity is about 9.81 m/s², this means Venus's gravity is roughly 91% of Earth's.
Jupiter's surface gravity is 2.639 times as great as Earth's. A person who weighs 200 pounds on Earth would weigh 528 pounds there.
Weight is technically the force that gravity exerts on you. Mass is how much matter you "are". Mass times the acceleration of gravity will equal your weight. Newton discovered that the force of gravity [your weight] is equal to a constant times the mass of the planet times the mass of you all divided by the radius to the center squared. This equation shows that the weight is inversely proportional to the radius to the center squared. Thus, as the radius to the center increases, the weight will decrease. So if you move away, your weight will decrease.
The gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. For the gravity on the surface of the planet, the distance is just the planet's radius. Thus, if a planet has three times the mass, it has three times the gravity. If you are three times as far away, the gravity decreases by a factor of nine.
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
Yes. Weight is the result of gravitational attraction. The general relation is: weight = mass x gravity Near the Earth's surface, the weight (in newton) is approximately 9.8 times the mass (in kilogram), since the surface gravity of Earth has that value.
No. Force of gravity is not time dependent. It is proportional to the product of masses of the earth and the matter in question and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the matter.
The Center of curvature is 2 times the focal length. By the way this is a physics question.
The forces of gravity between two objects fall off as the square of the distance between them.If you were three times as far from the center of the Earth as you are now,then the forces of gravity between you and the Earth would be1 / (3^2) = 1/9 of what they are now.Putting it simply, your weight would be 1/9 of what it is down here on the surface.
