What would happen if the gravitational force was eliminated between the earth and sun?
The earth's constant orbit around the sun is caused by an equilibrium between two forces - the gravitational pull of the sun, and the earth's velocity acting at a right angle to it. If that gravitational pull was suddenly eliminated, the earth would continue onwards in a straight line.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
Imagine you are in a spaceship that is flying away from the earthdescribe what you see from your spaceship and how you feel as it moves out of the gravitational pull of the earth?
It was awsome feeling...gloomy and cloudy and iwas really hapy to
What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?
Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.
Why can a spaceship move away from Earth?
The force the rocket uses is stronger or equal to the rocket's mass, so it can push it in the opposite direction of the Earth's gravitational pull.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.
What is the feeling as the spaceship moves out of the gravitational pull nof the earth?
Depends on the net force applied to the people in the spaceship. The gravitational pull of the earth doesn't have a distinct boundary where it stops, but decreases rapidly inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

How does gravity affect your weight?
Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.

Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
weight?
The gravitational pull acting on an object towards the earth's center.
What determines the size of gravitational force?
The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)
What forces are acting on the spaceship as it leaves the earth?
Thrust, which is propelling the spaceship upward, Gravity,which pulls the spaceship down, and must be overcomed by Thrust, Friction, from the air that wants to slow the spaceship down, and which also must be overcome, and Lift, which is the response from thrust and what keeps the spaceship airborne.
What forces are acting on earth besides the gravitational pull of the sun?
There is a pair of equal gravitational forces between the Earth and every other bit of matter in the universe. The only ones that make any difference over the span of several human lifetimes are the pair between the Earth and sun, and the pair between the Earth and moon. Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and each of the other major planets are affecting the Earth's orbit, but the effects are so small as to be imperceptible over the course of human civilization, and too slow for prediction.
