Is it true that gravity acts only on objects on the earth's surface?
No, gravity is a universal force that acts between all objects with mass, not just on objects on the Earth's surface. The strength of gravity decreases with distance from an object, following the inverse square law. This means that gravity affects objects in space as well as on the Earth's surface.
If two planets have the same mass but different diameters Which planet has the stronger gravity at its surface?
The smaller diameter. Because the formula is G* m1 * m2 / r^2 . The gravity is negatively correlated with square of the distance between mass centers of the objects. When the distance increases the gravity decreases.
What is the differanceof the force of gravity at the earth's surface and one hundred miles away from the surfaceof the earth?
The force of gravity between the Earth and you or any other object is inverselyproportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the Earth andthe object.On the surface, that distance is the Earth's radius, let's say 3,960 miles on the average.(3,960/4,080)2 = 0.942So your weight at an altitude of 120 miles is about 5.8% less than it is on the surface.
Does gravity still work at 6400 km?
Yes, gravity exists at any distance away from a planetary body.
How far does gravity extend from the surface of the moon?
There is a force of gravity in both directions between every pair of objects, attracting them toward each other. There's no limit on the distance. There is a force of gravity in both directions between the lint in your pocket and the smallest grain of sand on the beach on the far side of the farthest planet orbiting the farthest star in the farthest galaxy from Earth, attracting them toward each other.
Is their any relation between gravity and surface area?
not particularly, essentially the effect of gravity depends on its mass and your distance from it
What tells the relationship between the distance on the map and the distances on Earth's surface?
scale
What determines how strong the force of gravity is at the surface of each planet?
The weight of an object on the surface of a planet depends on ...-- The mass of the object.-- The mass of the planet.-- The distance between the center of the object and the centerof the planet, i.e. the planet's radius.
What does scale mean in geography?
It means The relationship between distance on a map and on the earth's surface.
The scale shows the relationship between distance on a map and on the Earth's surface. True False?
True
What shows the relationship between distances on the map and the corresponding distance on the earths surface?
A map scale.
What shows the relationship between distance on the map and the corresponding distances on the earth's surface?
A map scale.
What shows the relationship between distance on the map and the corresponding distances on earth's surface?
A map scale.
What does scale mean in geography term?
It means The relationship between distance on a map and on the earth's surface.
What show the relationship between distances on the map and the corresponding distance on earth's surface?
A map scale.
Does gravity work when two objects are touching?
Yes, gravity still affects objects even when they are touching. The force of gravity depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between their centers of mass, not the surface contact between them.
Is there a difference between weight and mass?
Yes. The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity Near Earth's surface, the value for gravity is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
