Is gravitational attraction varies directly with tilt of the earth axis?
No the Earth's gravitational attraction is caused by its mass. It varies slightly because the Earth is an oblate spheroid not a sphere, and as a result of variation in the density of crustal rocks. The tilt of Earth's axis has no affect on gravitational attraction.
How are low tides formed?
The Moon's Gravity Causes the waves to form.
What does the gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon depend on?
The mass of both the earth and the moon and the distance between each. From Newtons Law of Universal Gravitation, we see that the force due to gravity is directly proportional to the masses of both bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers. Since the net force equates to mass times acceleration we can say that the acceleration is equal to the differences between both forces of attraction divided by mass.
Is high tide and low tide cause due to gravitation?
Yes, tides are caused by the gravitational attraction that the moon exerts on the Earth and its bodies of water.
What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes.
Does the gravitational attraction between earth and an asteroid decrease as the asteroid approaches earth?
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
What did netwon call the attraction between two objects such as the earth and an apple?
gravitational attraction.
The gravitational attraction between an object and the earth?
is called its weight.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
Why earth have its rotation?
because of gravitational force of attraction between the earth and other planets
Your weight is a force caused by?
The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.
What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?
gravitational force
Is mass the measure of earths gravitational attraction?
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
What instrument measures the amount of gravitational attraction between Earth and an object at rest on Earth's surface?
scale
