Yes. It's also the same force that causes water to run down the drain, a Golf ball to fall into
the cup, a roller coaster to pick up speed on the way down from the big hill, and tables and
chairs to stay on the floor.

The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.


How much force is exerted per footstep?

In normal walking, it should be about equal to your weight spread over the square area of contact with the ground. Hence an 80 kg man with a 100 cm2 footprint would exert 0.8 kg/cm2 where a woman with a smaller footprint due to shoe design might exert twice this force.


How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?

The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.


Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?

The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.


How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.

Why does the exert a stronger gravitational force than the moon?

Though the moon is closer, it is relatively small compared to the sun. The sun is much larger and exerts a far stronger gravitational force.

How much force does one exert when lifting an object?

The force would be the weight of the object.


Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?

The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.


Why does earth exert a stronger gravitational force than the monn?

The bigger an object is, the more gravity it has! Earth is much bigger than the moon, therefore it has stronger gravity.


Why does the sun exert a bigger force on the earth than on the moon?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and distance. The sun exerts a bigger force on the Earth because the Earth has a much larger mass compared to the Moon. Additionally, the distance between the Earth and the sun is much closer than the distance between the Moon and the sun.


How much force can human body exert on a surfboard?

The force that a human body can exert on a surfboard is its weight. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body's mass, and is determined by multiplying the acceleration due to gravity (g), 9.81m/s2, times the person's mass in kilograms. The unit for weight is the Newton (N). For example, if a person has a mass of 75.5kg, his weight in Newtons will be 75.5kg x 9.81m/s2 = 741N.


How much force can you exert on a piece of paper?

As much as is available. That of course does not mean the paper can withstand it.


How much force does a train exert while in motion?

The force exerted by a train while in motion depends on its weight and speed. Trains can exert thousands of pounds of force, enough to move heavy loads and passengers.


Are you stand on floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet how much force does it exert why are you not moved upward by this force?

Yes, when standing on a floor, the floor exerts an upward force on your feet equal to the force of gravity acting on your body. This force prevents you from sinking through the floor or falling. You are not moved upward by this force because your body weight is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the floor, resulting in equilibrium.


Why can you jump higher on the moon?

When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity) Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.
