If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
Anytime you are in a place with less gravity, you or any object will weigh less. The force of gravity on the moon is much less than on Earth.
Why can you jump higher on the moon?
When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity) Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.
What is less on the moon than it is on earth?
The force of gravity.
How would the sun's contract to a smaller volume affect the gravitational force on its surface?
It will be smaller so less gravity
Is gravity the natural force that causes objects to move toward the center of the Earth?
yes on any object. Everything has some gravitational force, but the World is so large, making the force strong. That is why you would be lighter on the moon. The moon is smaller therefore less gravity, therefore you weigh less since weight is the amount of gravity acting on the object.
Which force gives you weight?
The force of gravity. The gravity on the moon is less than on earth, and if you weighed yourself on the moon, you would weigh less.
Which would be a better colony Mars or Ganymede?
Although it would depend on your objective, Mars would generally be more suitable. Ganymede has far less gravity, far more ambient radiation (almost 8 rems a day), and is far colder.
What happens to the force of gravity of the distance increases?
At greater distances, the force of gravity becomes less.
How would weight change for an object going to a planet with less gravitational force than earth?
Weight decreases as gravity decreases.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
Anytime you are in a place with less gravity, you or any object will weigh less. The force of gravity on the moon is much less than on Earth.
Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?
The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons
Which would be most affected by gravitational force?
which what? The bigger the force (weight) the more gravitaional force on an object. less gravity on moon than on earth
Which would be most be affected be gravitational force?
which what? The bigger the force (weight) the more gravitaional force on an object. less gravity on moon than on earth
What happen if the earth gravity force was less or more?
If gravity increased you would lift up and float in the sky.If gravity decreased you would be pulled to the ground even more than you are now
Why would you weigh so little on Mercury?
The gravity on Mercury is less than that of the Earth, so the force going down would be less as well.
Is Weight is the force of gravity on an object?
Yes, weight is the force of gravity on an object. Which is why you would weigh less on the Moon. An object on the Moon will weigh only 16.6% of what they weigh on the Earth.
Do less massive planets have less gravitational force?
Gravity is the pull from matter. Less matter means less gravity, so yes.
