Best Answer

The force of gravity inside a hollow shell is zero, according to an elegant theorem by Isaac newton. Therefore at depth the force of gravity comes only from the sphere which has its radius equal to your distance from the centre.

Why does a star's gravity increase when it gets smaller?

no a stars gravity decreases as its size gets Smaller.


How does distance affect gravity?

Gravitational forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating the gravitating bodies.


What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?

Water pressure.


Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?

It decreases as you move away from Earth.


does gravity increases or decreases with height?

It decreases with height.


What happens when pressure decreases?

Air pressure decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. Air, just like any form of matter has mass, and when affected by earth's gravity, weight. The weight of air is pushing down on you with a force of 1 atmosphere at sea level. As you increase elevation the air pressure is reduced because there is less air to push down on you. Just like air, water pressure increases as you increase your depth in it, or any fluid. When air pressure decreases, temperature drops.


If the mass stays the same and distance decreases does the gravity between two objects decrease or increase?

Increases. The closer they are, the harder the pull.


Does depth of field needed increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope?

Do the following factors increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope? Resolution, working distance, amount of light needed, and depth of field


How do mass and distance effect the force of gravity?

gravitational force is directly proportional to mass ie it increases with the increase in mass. it is indirectly proportional to distance ie it decreases with the increase in distance.


How does gravity work in the height?

as we go up gravity decreases
