What is the mass of the body on the moon surface if it weighs 120 newton on the earth surface?
To find the mass of a body, we can use the formula: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. On Earth, the average gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s². Therefore, the mass of the body is 120 N / 9.81 m/s², which is about 12.2 kg. The mass remains the same on the Moon, but its weight would be less due to the Moon's lower gravitational acceleration (about 1.62 m/s²).

If something on earth weighs 100 newtons what is that on the moon?
Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons. You may ask "Why?". Look at the equation of Force: Force = mass x acceleration F=m.a The mass remains the same in both cases (moon surface or earth surface). The acceleration is the only parameter that changes. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 6 times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon. Hope that helps.
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.
What will be the mass of a body at the centre of the earth as compared to other places on the earth?
Mass is conserved which means that a body will have the same mass wherever it goes. But at the centre of a masive sphere the body has no gravity acting on it so its weight is zero. At an intermediated radius the force on it is obviously less than at the surface, and Isac Newton proved that a body at a given distance inside a sphere feels a gravitational force from a sub-sphere of radius equal the distance of the body from the centre. In other words the body feels no gravity from the shell outside its own radius.
What is the force on the body on earth?
The force acting on a body on Earth is the gravitational force. This force is directed towards the center of the Earth and is responsible for the weight of the body. The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of the Earth.
Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
What is the body surface area for a child who is 80 cm tall and weighs 4 kg?
what is the body surface area for a child who is 80 cm and weighs 4kg
Why does a body weighs nothing during a free fall?
because gravity pulls an object to earth in which body not lose weighs
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What is the force of gravity at the surface on mercury for example what would a 100-pound person weigh on in mercury?
The acceleration of gravity on Mercury's surface, and therefore the weight of anyobject located there, is 37.7% of its value on the surface of the Earth. It followslogically that a person whose body weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surfacewould weigh 37pounds 11.2ounces on the surface of Mercury just before it beganto vaporize in the bright sunshine there.
What is the scientific definition of gravity?
Gravity is the force of attraction between two masses, such as between the Earth and objects on its surface. It is responsible for the acceleration of objects towards the center of mass of a body, and is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation and Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Which of the following is NOT a body wave of an earthquake?
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"

What are the two categories of seismic?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.
Circular motion occurs only near the earths surface?
False. A contra example; Triton has a circular motion about Neptune Newton's first law of motion: a body remains a rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. If there is a centripetal force towards a point acting on a body that is moving then that body will have circular motion. The body and point do not have to be on earth.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves are more destructive than body waves as they move along the Earth's surface and cause the most shaking and damage during an earthquake. Body waves, on the other hand, travel through the Earth's interior and are usually less damaging to structures on the surface.
How much will be the body of weight 35 newton weight in water if it displace 1 liter of water?
1 litre of water has around 1 kilogram of mass. On earth, that mass of waterweighs 9.8 newtons.A body that weighs 35 newtons in vacuum (or air) will weigh (35 - 9.8) = 25.2 newtonsin water.
With what force earth attracts the body of mass 1kg kept on its surface?
The force with which Earth attracts a body of mass 1kg on its surface is approximately 9.81 Newtons.
