Would the acceleration due to gravity on mars be bigger or smaller than on earth and why?

Smaller, because Mars is less massive and less dense than Earth.

Would the angle of deflection of the charged particle be bigger or smaller if they had more mass?
It would be smaller. The force on the particles will be the same. However, their bigger mass (inertia) will mean that their sideways acceleration is less than for lighter particles. They travel in a larger arc
What would happen to earth's orbit if the sun's gravity decreased?
It would get bigger
How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.
What would be the acceleration due to gravity of a planet that has 9.3 m earth and 4 r earth?
The acceleration due to gravity is proportional to mass and inversely proportionalto the square of distance. So, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of sucha planet, compared to that on the surface of the Earth, would be(Agrav on Earth) x (9.3/16) = 5.7 meters (18.7 feet) per second2 (rounded)
How much heavier would you be on Jupiter?
Well, Jupiter is a bigger planet so it has more mass and mass causes gravitational attraction which is a big factor in deciding your weight. Weight=Mass x Acceleration of gravity so the bigger the gravity the bigger your weight so you would weigh more on Jupiter because of its bigger acceleration due to gravity. Your mass is going to stay the same no matter what but the gravity will change.
Would a bigger ball have more acceleration than a smaller ball or be the same as a smaller ball?
Actually the smaller ball would have more accleration because the smaller ball weighs less.....
How would you define acceleration due to gravity?
That means that the acceleration of an object is caused by the force of gravity acting on the object.
Is a asteroid smaller or bigger than earth?
Smaller. Something as big as the Earth would have so much gravity that it would probably have collided with something else and been eliminated
Would the angle of deflection of the charged particle be bigger or smaller if they had more mass?
It would be smaller. The force on the particles will be the same. However, their bigger mass (inertia) will mean that their sideways acceleration is less than for lighter particles. They travel in a larger arc
What happens to your weight if acceleration due to gravity somehow doubled?
IF gravity doubled, THEN your weight would double. And acceleration and the force of gravity are indistinguishable from each other.
Does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
If you are asking the rate of acceleration on a surface, than the larger the force of gravity is, the more it will affect the rate of acceleration. The amount of friction depends one many variables, one of which is gravity. The larger your force of gravity is, the larger the force of friction is. Because of this, the more the force of gravity is, than the slower the rate of acceleration is because of the larger force of friction, which would be acting against the rate of acceleration. Therefore, the force of gravity does affect the rate of acceleration.
Would you have a different mass on the moon why why not?
No. Mass is a measure of the amount of "stuff" or matter a thing has. You wouldn't be smaller or bigger on the moon. You would, however, weigh less because weight is a function of gravity nand there is little gravity on the moon.
What would happen if you increase the mass of an object?
Since the force of gravity is directly proportional to mass, then increasing the mass of an object increases the force of gravity it produces.Since accceleration = force/mass, then increasing the mass of an object means it will have a smaller acceleration for the same force (or alternatively that you need more force to produce the same acceleration).
What is the direction of acceleration due to gravity for an upwardly launched rocket?
If it were accelerating due to gravity it would be vectoring down.
Would you feel heavy or light on Uranus?
You would feel heavier. The acceleration due to gravity on Uranus is 10.72, while the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is 9.8 m/s2 (or 9.81, it depends on who you ask.).
Why would an object way less at the equator than at the poles?
Not for sure but it seems like there would be more gravity at the equator than at the poles. The earth rotates and creates a centrifugal acceleration at the equator the counters the force of gravity. acceleration due to gravity =GM/R2 acceleration due to rotation =V2/R So gravity at the equator is GM/R2 - V2/R
What happened to the earth as gravity crushed the rock at its center?
To some extent, the crushing of rock at the earth's center would cause compression of the earth's 'underpinnings' and, it would get slightly smaller. Additionally, now being closer to the main Mass of the Earth would slightly increase the pull of gravity (Acceleration due to Gravity) seen on the earth's surface.
