What is the affect of latitude n longitude of earth on gravity?

Your weight at the north or south pole would be ever so slightly greater than it is at the equator, because the Earth is slightly fatter around the equator than it is around the poles, so if you're standing on the equator, you're slightly farther from the Earth's center of mass than you are if you're standing on one of the poles. Other than that, your location on the surface of the Earth has no effect at all on the forces of gravity that attract you and the Earth toward each other.


How does the value of gravity vary on earth?

The value of gravity on Earth is relatively consistent at approximately 9.81 m/s^2 near the surface. However, gravity can vary slightly depending on factors such as altitude, latitude, and geological features. These variations are small and generally not noticeable in day-to-day life.


What 2 factors affect the force of gravity?

The acceleration due to gravity (what you meant?) is calcuable from g = GM/r^2. G is a constant. M is the mass of the object defining the gravitational field. R is the distance between the center of the object defining the gravitational field and the object seeing the field. So, two factors: the mass M and the distance r. The force due to gravity depends on 3 factors. Fg = m*g. M is the mass of the object seeing the gravitational field of the object with mass M (one factor) and g is as above (two factors) -> 3 factors total. Of course the mass m is also exerting a gravitational force on the object of mass M.


What effect does the gravity of Mars have on Earth?

The gravity of Mars is about 38% of that on Earth. This means that if you were on Mars, you would weigh less than on Earth because gravity is weaker. However, the gravity of Mars has minimal direct effect on Earth as they are separate celestial bodies with their own gravitational fields.


What is the gravity Field strength on earth?

The average strength of gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s^2). This value can vary slightly depending on location due to factors such as altitude and the density of the Earth's crust.

Does gravity have an effect on a cheerleading stunt?

Gravity is one of the most important factors to know for gymnastics. It is important that gymnasts have to work with the force of gravity because of all the flips and turns they have to do.


How acceleration effect gravity?

Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.


What are the 2 factors that affect the force of gravity?

The two factors that affect the force of gravity are the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Why do you feel the affects of gravity more when you are here on Earth than you would out in space?

Because gravity is stronger with a bigger object. The greatest effect on the gravity you undergo has to do with the immense electromagnetivity from the Earth's core. There are none of those physical factors in space.
