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 else can I help you with?
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.
How is earths gravity right now?
Earth's gravity is consistent and unchanging at approximately 9.81 m/s². This gravitational force is responsible for keeping objects anchored to the Earth's surface and determining their weight.
What is the unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65?
The unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 is 1.8 g/cc.
What do you call force of gravity on earth?
It's called 'gravity' everywhere on earth... Earths' gravitational pull is the basis for calculating other fields of gravity, with earth gravity being one unit, or 1G.
What is the formula for wieght?
The formula for weight is: Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (w = m x g). Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and it depends on the mass of the object and the gravitational field strength at its location.
What is the force of weight of 100 kg man in earths gravity of 9.8?
Weight = mg (mass x gravity).
Does earths gravity give weight to matter?
Yes. Earth's*
What is the pull of earths gravity called?
You call it the "weight" of objects on Earth.
What is the force exerted on an object by the earths pull called?
The force exerted on an object by Earth's gravity is called weight. It is the force that pulls objects towards Earth's center.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
When you push up on an object, you are applying an additional force that is opposing gravity, increasing the total force acting on the object, including your weight. When you push down on an object, you are applying a force that opposes gravity and counteracts part of the force of gravity acting on the object, hence reducing the effective weight felt by the object.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater the earths Why.?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?
Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
What is Fido's weight on Mars where the gravity is about one third of earths gravity.?
To determine Fido's weight on Mars, we need to know his weight on Earth. If Fido weighs 60 pounds on Earth, his weight on Mars would be around 20 pounds, as Mars has approximately one-third of Earth's gravity.
How much gravity does planet venus have?
Venus has a gravity of about 0.904g, which is 90.4% of Earth's gravity. This means that if you were on Venus, you would feel almost the same weight as on Earth, but less than the Moon.
If you were on the moon your weight would be roughly what fraction of your weight on earth?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
