Mass is defined as resistance to acceleration, so one could measure how much force is needed to accelerate the object.

Where would you usually find a satellite?

You would usually find a satellite up in space, and at places like ESA, JEXA, and NASA Note that the term "satellite" does not just refer to artificial satellites. The moon is a satellite because it orbits the Earth. Any of the moons of the various planets are satellites of those planets. The Earth (and the other planets) are all satellites of the Sun. A satellite is any body which is attached to another body via gravitational pull.


Why must a horizontally moving projectile have a large speed to become an earth's satellite?

At lower speed, the object will fall back on the ground. Since, earth is curved, if the object has enought speed, the object can try to fall beyond the curvature of the earth. Thus, it will not hit ground at all. The speed to achieve it is around 8 km/s. If the object is faster than 11.4 km/s then the object will never return. It is called escape velocity.

What is the definition of predicate?

A predicate noun (more correctly called a predicative noun) is a type of complement. The complement element of a clause adds meaning to that of another clause element - either the subject (the subject complement), or the object (the object complement). A subject complement (Cs) renames the subject, for example in 'John is an accountant', 'John' is the subject and 'an accountant' is a subject complement (predicative noun). An object complement (Co) renames the object, for example in 'I find your children angels', 'children' is the object and 'angels' is an object complement (predicative noun). Be careful to avoid confusing 'predicative nouns' with 'predicative adjectives' - the latter describes rather than renames the subject or object. In the above examples if you replace 'an accountant' and 'angels' with 'fat' and 'charming' respectively, these would be predicative adjectives.

What allows you to hold things?

The force of your hands holding on two sides of the object you wish to hold. Although the gravitational force that is pulling the object downward is great; the force your hands are pressing onto the sides of the object is a lot greater. You will find that if you don't hold an object as tightly (decrease the force) it may drop. This is because the gravitational force increases.


What information do i need to find the force of an object?

An object, in itself, does not have any force. It can exert a force on another object, such as gravitational or electro-magnetic attraction or repulsion, or from impact. However, in all such cases, you require two (or more) objects: one object, in isolation, exerts no force.


What would the object's mass and weight on Jupiter be?

Well, first you would have to find the object's mass and weight. Since the gravitational force on Jupiter is approximately 2.3 times the gravitational force, you would have to multiply the mass times 2.3 and the weight times 2.3.


What is needed when finding mass of an object?

To find the mass of an object, you would need a scale or balance to measure the object's weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so a scale measures the gravitational force acting on the object, which is directly proportional to its mass.


How does the gravitational force between 2 object change when the mass of one object changes?

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. If the mass of one object increases, the gravitational force between the two objects will also increase. Conversely, if the mass of one object decreases, the gravitational force will decrease.


What is the acceleration of a. 1.4 kg object if the gravitational force pulls downward on orbit the air resistance pushes up on it with a force of 2.5N?

The net force acting on the object is the difference between the gravitational force pulling downward and the air resistance pushing upward. Calculate the net force: 2.5N (upward) - mg (gravitational force). Then, use Newton's second law, F = ma, to find the acceleration a = net force / mass.


Does gravity affect an object without mass?

Well, the formula for the gravitational force between any two objects says that the force is proportional to the product of their masses, so we suppose that if one of the objects had no mass, the product would be zero, and the force would also have to be zero. Tell you what: You find us an object without mass, and we can check it out together.


How do you find the mass of an object given the weight and volume?

If you know the force of gravity then mass = weight/gravitational force. If you don't then you cannot. Knowing the volume is useless.


Amount of grvitational force on an object?

To find the amount of gravitational force on an object you multiply the mass of the object(in kg) by the gravity(in m/s^2) of the planet. Your final units are in Newtons(N) or kg*m/s^2


How do I find the distance an object is from the earth with only it's mass and weight in it's current position?

You divide the mass by the weight, to get the gravitational acceleration. Then you use the fact that this gravitational acceleration, or gravitational field, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The distance should be calculated from the center of the Earth.


How does the steepness of a ramp affect how fast an object moves?

The steepness of the ramp affects the direction of the normal force of the object on a ramp (which is always perpendicular to the ramp). The net gravitational force is always straight down.Using the angle of inclination of the ramp with Trigonometry, you can find the vector forces of gravity perpendicular and parallel to the normal force which makes up the net gravitational force. The parallel portion is in the same direction of the ball rolling down the ramp. This will give you your force of acceleration, which you can use in basic equations to find the velocity of the object.The steeper the ramp, the faster the object rolls down. A ramp of 0 degrees would result in a ball just sitting on the ramp as normal force and gravitational forces cancel each other. A ramp of 90 degrees would be like a cliff and this would produce the fastest velocity since the ball is moving in the same direction as the force of gravity in free fall. A ramp with an angle between these means that part of the gravitational force is being offset by the normal force.


How do you find the gravitational force if you have the mass and the force?

To find the force of gravity (Fg) you have to multiply the mass (m) by gravity (g). Gravity is always 9.8 m/s^2. This formula is Fg=mg For example if the mass of an object is 2lbs then the formula to find the force of gravity would read: Fg = (2)(9.8) = 19.6 N N stands for newtons.
