everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.
What else can I help you with?
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
How does the sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
How are falling apples and the moon orbit of the moon alike?
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
Why is acceleration due to gravity less on moon?
Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon compared to Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the celestial body, so a smaller mass like the Moon results in weaker gravity. This causes objects to fall more slowly on the Moon than on Earth.
What is the acceleration of the moon towards the earth?
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
Can the revolving of the moon around the earth be an example of acceleration?
Yes. The moon is continuously 'falling' around the Earth, and the acceleration is due to the gravitic attraction between them. This is a different acceleration than the "go faster and faster" kind.
Why does object have a different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Why does an object have different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
What does acceleration due to gravity refer to?
The term acceleration due to gravity refers to the effects of the earth's gravitational pull on the body. It would differ if one was to be measuring it on other planets such as the Moon, Jupiter or Pluto.
How does the sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
How are falling apples and the moon orbit of the moon alike?
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth
Is there 0 gravity on the moon?
No. The rate of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.6249 m/s2 which is 16.7% of that on Earth. Things on the Moon weigh 16.7% of what they would on Earth.
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
