What else can I help you with?
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
No, the strength of the gravitational force on an object depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them, not the object's velocity. The velocity affects the object's motion in the gravitational field, but not the strength of the gravitational force acting on it.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance of gravity changes?
No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with gravitational influence. The weight of an object, however, can change with variations in gravity, as weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object.
Would an object weight more or less on the moon and why?
An object would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less gravitational pull than Earth. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so with less gravitational pull on the moon, the object would weigh less.
Explain why it is your weight and not your mass that would change if you landed on Mars?
Your weight would change, as weight is dependant upon the gravitational strength of the body that you are landing on. Your mass is essentially you as a whole it has an arbitrary value, so that weight can be calculated later on.
How can potential energy be changed by gravity?
Potential energy can be changed by gravity when an object is lifted or lowered in a gravitational field. Moving an object against gravity increases its potential energy, while moving it with gravity decreases its potential energy. The gravitational force acting on the object determines the amount of potential energy it possesses.
How does the size of an object impact the gravitational force acting upon it?
The gravitational force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. Therefore, the size of an object, which is related to its volume, can impact the gravitational force acting upon it. Larger objects with greater mass will experience a stronger gravitational force compared to smaller objects with less mass.
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 is a weight?
"Weight" is a measure of gravitational force acting on an object.
What is a-weighting?
"Weight" is a measure of gravitational force acting on an object.
What happens to the buoyant force as ans object sinks?
As an object sinks, the buoyant force acting on it decreases because the volume of water displaced by the object also decreases. This reduction in buoyant force allows the object to continue sinking until it reaches equilibrium with the gravitational force acting on it.
Would happen if the normal force and gravitational force acting on an object were unequal?
If the normal force and gravitational force acting on an object were unequal, the object would either accelerate or decelerate in the direction of the net force. If the normal force is greater, the object will move upwards; if the gravitational force is greater, the object will move downwards.
weight?
The gravitational pull acting on an object towards the earth's center.
What happens to an objects mass when gravitational force is increased?
Nothing. The mass will not change with a gravitational increase, but the weight will.
What does not change when gravitational force changes?
The mass of an object does not change when the gravitational force changes. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational force acting on it.
How does an object change with gravity?
An object with mass will be accelerated by a gravitational force.If the object were (relatively) stationary, but the gravitational force changed, then the apparent weight would change.
Is gravitational force also known as weight?
Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects due to their mass, while weight is the force of gravity on an object's mass. The terms are related but not interchangeable, as weight is the result of gravitational force acting on an object's mass.
