What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?

In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.


What are types of natural forces?

Some types of natural forces include gravitational force, electromagnetic force, nuclear force, and frictional force. These forces play a crucial role in determining the motion and behavior of objects in the natural world.


Why is it possible to shield a room against electric forces but not against gravitational forces?

Electromagnetic force and gravitational force are very different in a number of ways. Perhaps the most significant difference is that there are both positive and negative electrical charges, and north and south magnetic poles, whereas there is only one, positive form of gravity (if we could produce negative gravity, long dreamed of by science fiction writers, that would be tremendously useful). Electric forces interact with shielding agents (in the form of electrical conductors) and are absorbed, and do not reach the shielded interior of the room, but gravity is not absorbed in that way - it permeates everything equally. The ultimate nature of gravity is more mysterious than that of electromagnetism, and is still under debate by theoretical physicists. If it is true as suggested by Einstein that gravitational force is the result of a warping in the geometry of four dimensional space-time, you can see why it would be difficult to shield against it.


How would you expect earths gravitational pull on you high in the mat Rocky Mountains to be different from the pool at the seashore?

The gravitational pull on you would be slightly weaker in the Rocky Mountains compared to the seashore due to the increase in altitude. This is because the gravitational force decreases with distance from the center of the Earth. However, the difference in pull at these locations would be very small and not noticeable to the human body.


What would happen if the earth wasn't there?

If the Earth wasn't present, life as we know it would not exist. Earth provides a habitable environment with the right conditions for life to thrive. Additionally, the absence of Earth would disrupt gravitational forces in our solar system, affecting the orbits of other planets and celestial bodies.

Would you weigh more if the earth stopped spinning?

No, the mass dictates the gravitational forces.


Jupiter has about 300 times the mass of Earth and about ten times Earth's radius. What's the Estimated size of g on the surface of Jupiter?

Since gravitational forces between two masses are proportional to m1 & m2, a 300x increase in planetary mass would INCREASE the gravitational force on an object by the same factor: 300x compared to earth. Since gravitational forces are also proportional to 1/(radius squared), a 10x increase in planetary radius would DECREASE the gravitational force by a factor of 100x (10 squared), at the planet's surface. So an object on such a planet would experience gravitational forces 3x greater than those on earth.

What would happen if the ozoen layer vanished?

If the ozone vanished, life would vanish too. Mankind would perish.


Would spaghettification hurt if you were subjected to it?

Spaghettification is a term used to describe the stretching and elongation of an object, like a person, when it falls into a black hole due to the extreme gravitational forces. The process would likely be very painful as the intense gravitational forces would stretch and tear apart the person's body.


Why does the planets orbit the sun?

Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)


If you are vanished from earth what will happen?

If you're vanished from earth, there will be no change. Maybe the environment would heel itself.


Is spaghettification a painful process?

Spaghettification is a term used to describe the stretching and elongation of an object as it gets closer to a black hole due to the extreme gravitational forces. While the process itself is not painful, it would likely be fatal due to the intense gravitational forces involved.


What is the force from gravity?

If your question rephrased is 'What force does gravity give?' then the answer would be a Gravitational Force. In depth, a Gravitational force is a pulling force which, when opposing other forces, is usually over 55% dominant.


Is there any gravitational pull on mercury?

Yes. Every object---everyone---has gravitational forces. The gravitational force is proportional to the Mass of an object. So the Moon is exerting forces on the Earth and vice versa, but the larger object influences the smaller one more. If the Moon did not have gravitational force, then the Earth's oceans would not have tides. Mecury is so close to the massive Sun, that its small force is no match to the Sun's force.


What is the magnitude of gravitational field at earth's center?

If gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.8Nkg, then at the centre it would be 0Nkg


What is the meaning of the word vanished?

The word "vanished" means "disappeared". For example, if a stain is removed from an item of clothing, it would be possible to say that "the stain has vanished".


Tidal forces in general are the result of?

Tidal forces are caused by the gravity of the moon pulling on the water. Therefore when the moon is out, the tidal forces will be stronger. Also, nights in which supermoons occur would most likely have a significant change.
