What is the force of gravity on a person of object at the surface of the earth?

That's the force we usually call the "weight" of the person or object.


Does sulfur contain electrons?

Yes. All matter on Earth contains atoms and thus electrons.


Does a penny have more atoms than earth does people?

Yes, most definitely, a penny has many more atoms than the Earth does people.A pre-1982 penny contains about 28,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 copper atoms. Or, 2.8 x 1022atoms.There are about 6 billion people on the planet.


What is the measure of the earth's gravitational attraction?

A single object doesn't have a gravitational attraction. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of both of their masses. So the force between the earth and any other object ... like a person ... depends on the mass of the person, just as much as it depends on the earth's mass. You can't tell the strength of the earth's attraction of an object until you know the object's mass. (In other words, you don't know how much a person on earth will weigh until you know something about the person.)


What is the effect of gravity on the weight of an object when a person is standing upright?

When a person is standing upright, gravity pulls the person and the object they are holding towards the Earth. This causes the weight of the object to increase due to the force of gravity acting on it.


Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on Earth yet the weight is different?

Mass concerns the amount of materials an object is made of. Weight concerns gravity - the attraction between that object and the earth or the moon. The weight is less because the moon's gravitational pull is less. However the number of atoms contained within an object remains unaltered.


Why does the heaviest object have a larger mass than the lightest object?

The moon has less gravity Peggy says: Objects weigh more on the Earth than on the moon because the Earth has a greater mass. The mass of an object determines how much gravity it exerts. The Earth exerts six times the gravity of the moon. A 180 pound person on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds on the moon!


How would the earth would be like if there was no atoms?

There wouldn't be an earth if there were no atoms.


What 2 things does mass measure?

On Earth mass measures the gravitational pull an object has. Any place off Earth or with a unequal gravitational pull mass is measured in the amount of atoms an object has.


Does hydrogen contain atoms?

Yes. All materials you will find on earth contain atoms.


Why is weight not considered a constant measurement of the amount of matter an object contains?

Weight depends on the gravitational pull acting on an object, so it can vary based on location (e.g. weight on Earth vs. weight on the Moon). However, mass is a constant measurement of the amount of matter an object contains because it is a fundamental property of the object that does not change regardless of location.


What would have an effect on an object's mass?

Nothing. An object's mass refers to how many atoms are present so unless you start chopping bits from it there will be no change in mass. An object's weight is its gravitational pull towards the Earth. Its weight could be affected by its position on the Earth because the Earth is not a perfect sphere. Objects have a higher mass at the poles than the equator as at the poles the objects are closer to the centre (center) of the Earth.
