What is the force that causes the earth to orbit the sun?
GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.
Earth exerts a force on an object equal to the object's weight. the object exerts a force on Earth?
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, while the Earth exerts a force on an object that is equal to the object's weight, the object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on Earth. This is why you can feel the ground pushing up on you when you stand on it.
How can planets weight something if space is weightless?
=There is no weight in space is because Weight is how hard things (floor, ground, etc.) push up on us. Note, I said up and not down. The downward force is the gravitational force. The gravitational force depends on mass (the amount of material you are made of) and the gravitational field intensity. If the gravitational field intensity is lower, as it is on the moon, the gravitational force is lower for the same mass. ecause there is no gravity.=
How can rockets overcome the earth's gravity?
Exactly the way you do it when you walk up stairs ... use your engines tocreate a force greater than your weight and opposite to the force of gravity.
What holds up the moon?
The moon is held in orbit around Earth by gravity. The gravitational force between the Earth and the moon keeps it from drifting off into space.
What force are you pulling against in a force meter?
It really depends. The spring; whatever is holding the forcemeter up; the normal force of the earth pushing up on what's holding the force meter up... depends on your reference frame
What type of force would be responsible for holding up a lamp hanging from the ceiling?
The force responsible for holding up a lamp hanging from the ceiling is called tension force.
What can mountain be for?
Mountains act as pegs for holding up the Earth like pillars holding up houses.
What is holding up earth?
The Earth is held in its orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. It stays in orbit due to the balance between the centripetal force pulling it towards the sun and its velocity carrying it forward.
Who is the Greek god who holds up the earth?
Atlas.EDIT from DJNightchild:Atlas isillustrated as the one holding th Earth, but that's not true.He's the one who sepperates the sky from the earth.
What are 2 forces that are acting on a hanging object?
Two forces acting on a hanging object are tension, which is the force exerted by the string or rope holding the object up, and gravity, which is the force pulling the object downward towards the Earth.
What is the force that builds up the features of earth?
Constructive Force
How many pages are in the book holding up the earth?
212
Maurice is exerting an upward force holding a magazine in the palm of his hand What is the opposing force in this situation?
The opposing force is the gravitational force pulling the magazine downward towards the Earth. This force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force Maurice is exerting to hold the magazine up.
How do you blow up the earth?
The Earth cannot be "blown up" by any known force.
When an object is falling toward earth what force is pushing up on the object?
When an object is falling toward Earth, the force pushing up on the object is gravity, which is pulling the object downward towards the Earth's center. There is no active force pushing the object up as it falls.
When an object is falling toward the Earth what force is pushing up on the object?
If the object is outside the earth's atmosphere, there is no force pushing up on it. If it is inside the earth's atmosphere, then air drag is pushing up on it.
