How does the earths radius affect the gravitational force on a object at its surface?

The Earth and the object exert a gravitational force on each other, but only the Earth's is big enough to measure. So, the formula for gravitational force include the distance from one body's surface to its center and the same for the other body. The length of the radius is directly proportional to the body's gravitational force.


When a astronaut is in space her body is acted upon by increased gravitational force from the earth?

No, it would be with a decreased force of gravity.


What is the tidal force of massive body?

It usually used to describe the force of gravity (of the moon) pulling on the oceans and water on Earth thus creating high and low tides. The sun is massive and close enough to Earth to have a significant affect on tides also.


What does gravity Change on the body when you leave Earth?

Because gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and the strength of the force depends on the distance between them. If the Earth is one of the objects and the other one leaves the Earth, then the force of gravity it feels is certainly going to change.


Why does the acceleration of a body decrease under the surface of the earth?

The acceleration of a body decreases under the surface of the earth because there is a force acting against the acceleration, known as air resistance or fluid resistance, which reduces the net force on the object. Additionally, the gravitational force pulling the object towards the center of the earth weakens with depth, leading to a decrease in acceleration.

What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?

The force between the Earth and a body on Earth is the gravitational force, which is determined by the mass of the Earth, the mass of the body, and the distance between them. This force causes objects to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.


Does Earth exert a upward or downward force on your body?

Earth exerts a downward (towards the ground or Earth) force on your body. At the same time, your body exerts an upward (towards your body) force on the Earth. Your body is the one that seems to move, however, because the mass of your body is so much less than the mass of the Earth.


What force on earth always opposes the motion of a body when it is in motion?

The force on Earth that always opposes the motion of a body when it is in motion is called friction.


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 force of gravitation between the earth and a body at the centre of earth?

The gravitational force between the earth and a body at the center of the earth would be 0 Newtons or 0 lbf. F=G (m1*m2)/r^2 r = zero if the center of the body is at the center of the earth


The attraction or pull of a persons body toward the Earth by the earth is called weight The reaction to this force is the?

Both forces can be called "weight".The gravitational force that attracts a person's body toward earth is calledthe person's weight on the earth.The gravitational force that attracts the earth toward a person's body could becalled the earth's weight on the person's body.The forces are both there, and they're equal.


What is the gravitational force between the earth and a body called?

The gravitational force between the Earth and a body is called weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

What is the gravitational force of earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is?

The gravitational force of Earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is approximately 9.81 Newtons.


What is the force that pulls the freely falling body towards the earth is called?

Gravitational Force


What force does the weight of a body represent?

The weight of a body represents the force exerted by gravity on that body. It is the downward force acting on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.


Is gravitational force due to magma inside earth?

No, the gravitational force of the Earth, or any body in the Universe, is because of the mass of that body...... the amount of matter the body comprises. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational tug.
