Technically, no. But the differences are measurable only with sensitive

lab-grade equipment, and the total range from least to greatest is so small

that a person could not feel it.

Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?

No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.


Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?

Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....


The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?

No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.


What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?

To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.


How strong is the gravitational force on earth?

The force that the planet Earth applies on an object(the force is also called weight) depends on the mass of the object. It is not constant. The formula is: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value on Earth: 9.81 m s-2 However, it is not constant everywhere in the universe. It depends on the planet you are on. Mass, however, is constant.

Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?

No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO


What force is acting on the weight?

Weight is , actually, the force experienced by a body on the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. It is expressed as the same way as force Force = mass*acceleration where as weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity Since mass of a body is constant and gravity is almost constant(9.8 m/s2 ) except at the poles where it is (10 m/s2 ) , a body has the same weight, wherever it is on earth.


Are gravity pulls stronger or weaker during a spring tide?

gravity is always pretty much the same (9.81 m/s^2 downward acceleration) wherever you are on earth, unless you are several kilometers above or below the surface.


Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?

No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.


Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?

No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.


Are acceleration due to gravity on small stone and big stone equal?

Yes, the acceleration due to gravity on both small and big stones is equal because it depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from its center. The mass of the stone does not affect the acceleration due to gravity.


Why does earth imparts same acceleration on all bodies?

Earth imparts the same acceleration on all bodies due to the force of gravity, which is proportional to the mass of the body. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is constant (9.81 m/s^2) regardless of the mass of the object, resulting in all objects falling at the same rate in a vacuum.


What is the value of acceleration due to gravity for a cotton ball?

The acceleration due to gravity for a cotton ball is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value is the same as the acceleration due to gravity for any object on the surface of the Earth, regardless of its mass or size.


Why do all objects fall to earth at the same time velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?

All objects fall to Earth at the same velocity under gravity because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This means that regardless of their mass, they will accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, resulting in the same final velocity when they hit the ground.


Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?

No, the acceleration due to gravity is constant regardless of the mass of an object. All objects near Earth's surface experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.

If a brick has a greater mass than a sponge why is the acceleration due to gravity the same for both objects?

The acceleration due to gravity is the same for both objects because it depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from its center. While the brick has a greater mass, the force of gravity acting on it is also greater to account for this, resulting in the same acceleration for both objects.
