What else can I help you with?
Is earths surface shapes mainly by water running downhill?
Because of gravity.
What force of gravity is on the surface of mercury?
3.7 m/s2 or 0.38 g
Is the pull if gravity the same all over the earth?
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.
Why do earth and the moon remain in their orbits?
(simplified) Gravitational force of attraction is balanced by centripital force due to earths velocity. (G*m1*m2) / r2 = m2 * (v2 / r) m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass r = earth - sun distance v = earths orbital velocity G = newtons gravitational constant
Why is gravity called a force?
Because it is a force. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, strong nuclear or color force).Gravity causes mass to accelerate. F = ma. Gravity must therefore be a force.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
Why is gravity strongest at Earth's surface?
Gravity is strongest at the earths surface because it's atmosphere is v dense and so the force inc.this happens because force is directly proportional to density.
On earths surface how much force does the pull of gravity have on 1 kilogram of mass?
9.8 newtons, down
Which fundamental force of nature is responsible for keeping you on earths surface?
The force responsible for keeping you on Earth's surface is the gravitational force. This force is generated by the mass of the Earth, which pulls objects towards its center.
Which force acts from a distance to play a role both in the formation of tides and mass movements on earths surface?
Gravity.
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
What is the vaul of the gravity on earth?
the force on say, a 1 kg mass anywhere on earths surface, is approximately 9.8 newtons, the reaction force on the earth is the same
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What force of nature pulls in earths water?
Gravity is the force of nature that pulls in Earth's water, keeping it on the surface of the planet. This gravitational force is responsible for the tides and the shape of the ocean basins.
