What is the name of the force holding us up to earth?
Gravity works as a magnet to hold us to the ground.
Why is the density of lead the same on the Moon as it is on Earth?
Density is based off mass and volume, not weight and volume. Weight is a measurement of gravity, and changes based on strong the pull of gravity is in the area. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and does not change based on the pull of gravity. Density is Mass/Volume. Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. The more condensed matter is, the higher its density.
Do Jovian planets have low density?
Density is mass divided by volume. Jupiter has a very large volume - its diameter is 11 times the diameter of Earth, so its volume is about 1300 times larger. It is also more massive than Earth, but not 1300 times as massive, only about 300 times as massive.
How would the sun's contract to a smaller volume affect the gravitational force on its surface?
It will be smaller so less gravity
Does gravity pull the most dense substances towards Earth's center?
No, gravity pulls ALL matter toward Earth's center. Matter that has greater density simply has a greater weight per unit volume.
What is the remains of a massive star pulled into a small volume by gravity?
A black hole
Does gravity have volume?
All substances have volume, but gravity is not a substance; gravity is a force and has no volume.
Why does Jupiter have more moons than mars?
Jupiter is far more massive than Mars and therefore its gravity field covers a larger volume of space so that it has been able to capture more debris from that volume.
What happens to density if an objects volume remains constant but its volume is decreased?
If an object's volume remains constant but its volume is decreased,its density becomes ambiguous and mutually inconclusive.
What is the formula for calculating weight if density and volume are given?
Weight = (density) times (volume)The definition of density is mass/volume .Now [ weight = mass x gravity ], so [ mass = weight/gravity ], and [ density = weight/gravity x volume ] .So Weight = (density) x (volume) x (gravity)
Do mass and volume have to do with gravity?
yes
If you changed the water to water vapor in a pressure cooker what volume would the water vapor occupy?
If it remains sealed the volume remains the same.
How does decreasing the volume affect the volume of gas?
If the temperature remains constant, decreasing the volume will increase the pressure.
What property of matter depends on gravity?
volume
What is a black hole the result of?
Gravity density. Whenever a sufficient mass is squeezed into a small enough volume ... then a black hole occures. "Normally" this only ocures when a massive star runs out of (hydrogen) fuel and collapses in on itself.
The center of gravity of the volume of liquid displaced by an immersed body is called?
centre of gravity
Is gravity dependent on density?
In general no, density is defined as the amount of mass per volume. However for materials on Earth it might indirectly, because gravity might cause additional pressure and thus increase the density. Consider air for example, the air pressure (and thus density) is higher here than 10 kilometers up because gravity pulls the air towards Earth.
