How might Earth's gravity affect an object?
Earth's gravity affects an object by attracting it towards the center of the Earth, causing the object to have weight. The strength of this gravitational force depends on the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. Objects experience a downward acceleration due to gravity, causing them to fall towards the Earth if unsupported.
Weight of an object will be minimum when it is placed at?
weight of an object is minimum when it is placed at the center of the earth because when an object is in the center ,it experiences gravitational pull from all the sides.thus the net weight of an object remains to be zero. +++ Possibly, but given that the centre of the Earth is unreachable and a ball of metal anyway, a more useful and achievable location for weightlessness is in Space!
What factors do the gravitational potential energy stored between an object and earth depends on?
The gravitational potential energy between an object and the Earth depends on the mass of the object, the acceleration due to gravity, and the distance between the object and the Earth's center. This potential energy is stored in the object because of its position in the Earth's gravitational field.
Does an object get lighter the further it is away from earths surface?
Yes. Weight is the gravitational force X the mass of an object. The further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational force. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on top of Mt. Everest.
What is earths gravity weight?
An object doesn't have a single, definite weight. Its weight depends on where it is and what other masses are nearby, so it can change. You probably know that whatever your weight is on the Earth, it would be only 1/6 as much on the moon, so you're familiar with the idea that 'weight' can change. The Earth has one weight from being 238,000 miles from the moon, and a different weight from being 93 million miles from the sun.
What factors effect the weight of an object on earth?
Only the object's mass.
What A force can affect the of an object?
The force of gravity can affect the weight of an object. This force pulls objects toward the center of the Earth and determines their weight.
Does weight affect the ammount of kinetic energy in an moving object?
Not weight - mass. On Earth the two are proportional, but it is better not to confuse the two.
The force of gravity on an object is also the objects?
The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.
Does the gravitational force affect measuring the weight and mass of an object on earth and mars?
A different amount of gravitational force will change the weight, but not the mass.
Will acceleration due to gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. The weight of an object on the earth in Newtons is its mass in kilograms times the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2. W = mg
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
How might Earth's gravity affect an object?
Earth's gravity affects an object by attracting it towards the center of the Earth, causing the object to have weight. The strength of this gravitational force depends on the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. Objects experience a downward acceleration due to gravity, causing them to fall towards the Earth if unsupported.
What is the gravitational weight difference between the moon and earth?
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
If a toy has a weight of 1kg what is its earth weight?
The weight of an object on Earth is the same as its mass, which is 1kg in this case. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
The force of gravity acting on an object when it is sitting on the Earth is simply referred to as the object's weight. This force is what keeps the object anchored to the surface of the Earth.
