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.
Why does the sun have a much higher gravitational attraction than earth?
Because the Sun is much larger than the Earth.
What is the gravitational attraction of apple on the earth when it falls on earth?
the gravitational attraction of apple is sun.
What does the earth's gravitational attraction prevent gases from doing?
The Earth's gravitational attraction prevents gasses from escaping into outer space.
Doubling the distance between an orbiting satellite and the earth will result in what change in the gravitational attraction between the two?
One Fourth as muchNote:When you talk about gravitational forces, the "distance" you're working withis the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. That's about4,000 miles more than its altitude above the surface.
What is the gravitational attraction between the earth and everything?
Gravitational attraction between Earth and objects is determined by their mass and distance. The more massive an object is, the stronger the attraction. Similarly, the closer an object is to Earth, the stronger the gravitational pull.
The gravitational attraction between an object and the earth?
is called its weight.
What balances the gravitational attraction of the earth on a falling object?
acceleration
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
The amount of gravitational attraction between the earth and an object depends on the objects distance from the earth and what else?
The amount of gravitational attraction between the Earth and an object depends on the object's distance from the Earth and the masses of both the object and the Earth. The gravitational force decreases as the distance between the object and Earth increases, following the inverse square law.
What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?
gravitational force
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potental energy?
The gravitational potential energy of an object increases with both its mass and height. As the mass of an object increases, so does its gravitational attraction to the Earth, resulting in higher potential energy. Similarly, as the height of an object increases, it has more gravitational potential energy due to being further from the Earth's surface.
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.
What instrument measures the amount of gravitational attraction between Earth and an object at rest on Earth's surface?
scale
Why does jupiter have a stronger pull than earth?
Jupiter has a stronger pull than Earth due to its larger mass, resulting in a higher gravitational force. The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses, so Jupiter's greater mass leads to a stronger pull compared to Earth.
What is the measure of the earth's gravitational attraction?
A single object doesn't have a gravitational attraction. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of both of their masses. So the force between the earth and any other object ... like a person ... depends on the mass of the person, just as much as it depends on the earth's mass. You can't tell the strength of the earth's attraction of an object until you know the object's mass. (In other words, you don't know how much a person on earth will weigh until you know something about the person.)
Why does the sun have a much higher gravitational attraction than earth?
Because the Sun is much larger than the Earth.
