At the surface the force on both the earth and the object is given by:

force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity (m/s)/s

>

another way to look at it is , every kg mass has 9.8 newtons of force acting on it.

Does gravity pull lighter and harder in some area's or does it pull the same?

because its stupid haha


Does venus have a weaker or stronger gravity?

There is less oxygen on Pluto of all planets because it is a lot smallerno, it is lesserweakerPluto has a weaker pull than that of and planet, even Mercury!Pluto's gravitational pull is much less than that of Earth due to their difference in size.No. Pluto has a much less mass than earthLess. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the planet and the object, but, relative to the same object, the force of gravity on Pluto is much less than on Earth, because Pluto is much less massive than Earth. According to Wikipedia, the acceleration due to gravity on Pluto is 0.067g or 6.7% of gravity on Earth.


Do humans age the same in space as they do on earth?

Yes, approximately. Because of higher velocity, astronauts age slightly less than their counterparts on earth, when they are in space, but only by a tiny amount.On the other hand, weightlessness and radiation contribute to bone loss and other ill health effects; so it might be said that even though time is slightly slowed-down for astronauts, they can suffer a deterioration of their health.


Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than on the earths surface?

Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air


Newton learned that the orbits of the planets are the result of two actions explain these actions?

With Newton's law of motion, he proved that the force of gravity-combined with the tendency of a planet to remain in a straight-line motion- results in the elliptical orbits discovered by Kepler. Earth, for example, moves forward in its orbit about 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) each second, and during the same second, the force of gravity pulls it toward the Sun about 0.5 centimeters (1/8 inch). Therefore, as Newton concluded, it is the combination of Earth's forward motion and its "falling" motion that defines its orbit. If gravity were somehow eliminated, Earth would move in a straight line out into space. Conversely, if Earth's forward motion suddenly stopped, gravity would pull it directly to the Sun.

Does the earth or Venus have more gravity?

Earth (by definition has a gravity exerting a pull of 1g. Venus is almost the same as Earth but the pull of gravity there is 0.904g. So Earth has more gravity.


Is the pull of gravity from other planets the same as Earth?

No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.


How do you think the pull of gravity on Jupiter's surface compares to the pull of gravity on Earth's surface on the same object?

I think it's about 2.528 times as great on Jupiter.


How do tides change monthly on earth?

The gravity of the moon and sun combine to pull Earth's waters in the same direction.


Why doesn't the Sun's gravity pull on objects on earth?

It does. Earth, along with everything on it is pulled toward the sun by gravity. However since they are all pulled in the same direction at the same rate, everything stays on Earth.


What is specific gravity of methane at 25c?

It is the same as any other thing on earth. Earth's gravitational pull is the same for all mass. If it is not on Earth, then it is the same as the gravitational pull where it is located.


If something on earth weighed the same weight of the earth what would the gravity do?

i dont think earth would have the gravitational pull to keep the object on earth i think the sun would pull it away


What is the pull of gravity on earth a direct result of?

The force of gravity is mutual between every pair of masses. The strength of the force is proportional to the product of the masses, and it's equal in both directions. The 'pull' toward the earth that you feel is the force of gravity between the earth's mass and your mass. The strength of the pull is proportional to the product of your mass and the earth's mass, and the earth feels the same pull toward you.


What is venus's gravity pull?

Yes it does. All objects have gravity but the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object.


What substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest pull?

The moon's gravity exerts that same amount of pull on all substance on Earth, regardless of what it is made of. We observe a greater effect on water because it can flow freely in response to that pull, not because it is pulled with greater force.


What is the rising she falling off the ocean surface caused by the moon pull off gravity?

Gravity and the pull of the moon are the same thing. The pull of the moon is caused by the moons' gravity.


Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?

The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
