What is the most common wind direction at a given location?
It's not possible to answer. Wind always flows from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. The direction of the wind where you are - will depend entirely on the location of the centre of the depression, relative to your position.
What geographic factors does the value of gravity depend on?
The mass of the planet, and the distance from the center of gravity. Gravitational pull is a relation between the mass of two bodies and their distance apart.
What is the weight of cubic foot of rock?
The weight of a cubic foot of rock will depend on the specific gravity and proportion of the minerals that compose the rock.
What is the temperature in 5AM?
Cold, usually. The average temperature at 5AM would depend on the location and time of year.
Is basement excavation very costly?
Depending on your location and how big your basement is going to be will depend on how costly it is for a basement excavation.
The relative surface gravity on earth is?
That's going to depend on 'relative' to what ?Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Earth, it's precisely 1.000, or 100% .Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Pluto, it's 16.822, or 1,682.2 % .
The mass of an object is fixed but its weight varies from location to location?
Because, mass does not depend on gravity factor whereas weight depend on gravity factor. W=mg
What is the relative frequency of a student having pets?
The answer will depend on the location and ages of the students.
Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
How does upthrust depend on accleration due to gravity?
it depends on acceleration due to gravity as f=mg, when acceleration due to gravity increases the force acting also increases.when force acting increases it cancels the upward thrust(buoyant force)so the body sinks in the liquid.
Is the type of image formed by a convex lens depend on the location of the object relative to the optical axis?
No it isn't, because the type of image a convex lens forms depends on where the object is relative to the focal point of the lens.
What is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
The more mass an object has, the more gravity acts on it. Mass actually is known to affect weight because they both depend on each other. =============================== HONK! Beulah the Buzzer has an objection to raise. Mass does not depend on weight. "Weight" is the name we give to the gravitational force acting on a mass.
Does gravity depend on density?
Gravity does not depend on density. Gravity is the gravitational pull that is invisible and cannot be touched or changed. Density is how much matter is packed within an object, which can be changed. Gravity and density are two totally different things, and are in no way related, therefore gravity does not depend on density.
Can gravity exert its force on space and time?
Before you depend on this "General Relativity", you should check what it depend on. It relativises its reference frames, arguments, concepts, imaginations, assumptions in a big and complicated circle --- its base is relative. If you want to lean on something based on that shaky ground, it's your choice.

What does an object's wight depend upon?
