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.
What are the example of gravitational force?
One good example are the fact that when you stand up, there is a force ... known as your "weight" ... that holds you down to the floor. That force is nothing but the force of mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
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.
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.
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 can mountain be for?
Mountains act as pegs for holding up the Earth like pillars holding up houses.
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 is the force that builds up the features of earth?
Constructive Force
What is holding up earth?
holding up the earth is a book i read in fifth grade. it was kinda boring. i did really bad on it though. you probabaly wouldn't like it.:) see yea
How many pages are in the book holding up the earth?
212
How do you blow up the earth?
The Earth cannot be "blown up" by any known force.
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.
What is a force that builds up features of earth's surface?
Constructive Force
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.
When an object is falling toward earth what force is pushing up on the object?
Because of force
What is the name of the force that pulls us up?
There is no force that pulls us up. The force that pulls us down is called gravity. If you also consider that we are rotating about the Earth's core, you might think we are being pulled up, but that is incorrect - that is still a force that pulls us towards the focus of angular acceleration. Any perception of a force in the other direction, such as "centrifugal force" or "corialis effect", is actually a reaction force, not a true force. (Newton's First Law of Motion: For every force, there is an equal and opposite (reaction) force)
