How can the moon have gravity when there is no atmosphere?
Gravity has to do with the amount of mass an object has; not an atmosphere. The bigger the object, the stronger the gravitational pull. That's why people feel lighter on the moon than they do on Earth.
What is the pull of gravity on earth a direct result of?
The force of gravity is mutual between every pair of masses. The strength of the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and it's equal in both directions. The 'pull' toward the earth that you feel is the force of gravity between the earth's mass and your mass. The strength of the pull is proportional to the product of your mass and the earth's mass, and the earth feels the same pull toward you.
Is earth gravity weaker on a top of a mountain?
Earth's gravity will not change normally on the ground, however yes, you will experience a decreased pull at your height, and you weight will also decrease. If you were to go higher, you would feel the gravity even less!
How does weightlessness occur in a space shuttle that is orbiting earth?
Weightlessness is a measure of how much resistance there is between an object and the local gravity. If you are standing on the ground, then there is 100% resistance between you and the pull of gravity. Your weight is equal to the pull of gravity on your mass. When you jump off a tall object, you are falling. You feel weightless because there is no resistance between you and the pull of gravity. When you are in a shuttle orbiting the Earth, both you and the Shuttle are falling in such a way that you never hit the ground. This is called an orbit. You feel weightless because you are falling. You just never hit the bottom like you would on Earth.
What is gravity's purpose?
Gravity's purpose is to pull objects downwards.
Which is that thing which can be feel but cant see?
Air,Gravity.
What do you feel when you hold and object against the pull of gravity?
You feel the object's "weight".
Skydiving might feel like flying, but pretty soon ___ will pull you down to the ground?
Gravity
Why can't you feel the earth's movement?
because the earth moves steady and slowly so slow we cant feel it
Does gravity involve air?
No. All matter exerts a gravitational pull. We feel Earth's gravity because it has a very large mass.
What keeps us from feelings gravity?
Hold both of your arms out to the side for as long as you can. Eventually, you will feel the pull of gravity pulling them down.
What feels the strongest pull of attraction toward the earth and why?
Since the attraction due to gravity is a function of the Mass and the Distance of the bodies, then Earth's Moon would feel the strongest gravity pull.
Which is not an example of gravity?
Nothing, gravity affects everything in the universe every yocto-second. You cant come up with a non example. Even anti-gravity is an example of gravity since your just reversing the pull of gravity to a push.
Do astronaughts feel gravity in space?
No, unless they are near a body with enough mass to have gravitational pull. For example, standing on the moon they would feel gravity (although it's a lot less than Earth's gravity ) but floating in space technically there is still gravity but it is such a small force that an astronaut would not feel it.
Does a tree know when you pull a leaf off it?
no a tree is alive but cant feel anything
What is positive Gravity?
gravity is the earths pull on you. it is located in the center of the earth, and that is why we stand on the ground instead of floating upwards. you dont really feel it pulling on you but its there.
Why don't you feel the pull of gravity when you hold an open book?
because the mass of the 2 objects is to great
