What direction does earth gravitational force act?
The Earth's gravitational force acts towards the center of the Earth.
When you step on a weigh scale what are you really measuring?
You are measuring the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts your mass towards the center of the Earth, and the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts the Earth towards you.
What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).
What is the force that pulls the freely falling body towards the earth is called?
Gravitational Force
What type of force does earth exert on a ball thrown in the air?
The force is known as gravitational force or gravitational pull. This force pulls the ball towards the center of the Earth, causing it to accelerate downward.
What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?
The force between the Earth and a body on Earth is the gravitational force, which is determined by the mass of the Earth, the mass of the body, and the distance between them. This force causes objects to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.
Your weight is a force caused by?
The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
Why people on earth don't get attracted towards the gravitational force of sun?
Humans on Earth don't feel attracted to the Sun's gravitational force because the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and distance apart. Since humans have much smaller masses compared to the Earth, the gravitational force towards the Sun is negligible in comparison to Earth's gravitational pull. Additionally, the Earth's gravitational force keeps humans firmly grounded to the planet's surface.
What is the gravitational force exerted on a object called?
The gravitational force exerted on an object is called weight. It is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth due to gravity.
Give you example of gravitational force?
An example of gravitational force is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. This force is responsible for objects falling to the ground when dropped.
What effect does Earths gravitational force on objects of different masses?
The gravitational force of Earth affects different masses in the same way by pulling them towards the center of the Earth with a force proportional to their mass. This means that objects of different masses will accelerate at the same rate towards the Earth due to gravity.
Earth orbits the sun as a result of a centripetal force that is caused by?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.
