Gravity (g)= (GM)/R^2, where G = Universal gravitational constant, whose value is 6.67 X 10^(-11) NM^2/kg^2; M = Mass of heavenly body and R = Radius of heavenly body. Now, As the radius of moon is accordingly less than the radius of the earth, the square of radius will be very less and the mass is also lesser than that of earth, so it won't affect so much. Hence, The moon's gravity is one sixth of earth's gravity as Radius of moon is 1738 km, whereas the radius of Earth is 6371 km, and mass of earth is 6 × 10^24 and mass of moon is 7.36 × 10^22 kg.
What else can I help you with?
Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
What is the gravitational forces on Mars?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/sec2 (12.1 ft/sec2). That's about 38% of the acceleration of gravity on the surface of earth. So for every 100 newtons (or 100 pounds) that something weighs on earth, it would weigh about 38 newtons (or 38 pounds) on Mars.
How much would you weigh on Mars if you weigh 220 pounds on Earth?
The surface gravity on Mars is about 38% of the Earth's. 220 x 0.38 = 83.6 : So, you would weigh about 83 (and a half) pounds.
When earth is facing the sun?
The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.
What is the gravitational pull of Uranus compared to earths?
The acceleration due to gravity of Uranus at its "surface" is about 8.69 m/s2. On Earth is it 9.8 m/s2. This means that Earth's gravity is about 13% larger than Uranus's gravity. Uranus is more massive than Earth, but mass is only half of what makes a gravitational pull. Uranus's gravitational pull is smaller that Earth's because it's "surface" is farther away from it's center.
What force of gravity here was less than half the pull exerted by gravity on earth?
pokemon
What planet has the force of gravity that has half of the pull exerted by gravity on earth?
answer is mars but all planets have a gravitation effect on the earth even gas planets
What planet has the force of gravity here that has less than half of the pull exerted by gravity on earth?
I'm not sure if it's half or not, probably less, but the only possibility would be Mercury. True. Mercury is the only one. Gravity on Mercury's surface is 37% of what it is on Earth. Except for Mars, where it's 38% of its value on Earth. Mercury and Mars are the only ones. Except for Pluto, where it's 4% of its value on Earth.
What planet Force of gravity is less then half of earths?
Planets with a smaller surfae gravity than Earth are Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Uranus.
What is acceleration due to gravity on surface of planet that has radius half that of earth and same average density as earth?
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet would be four times greater than that of Earth. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the radius of the planet, and inversely proportional to the square of the radius. Since the radius of the planet is half that of Earth, the acceleration due to gravity would increase accordingly.
Which force pulls objects towards earth?
The force that pulls everything towards the earth is called Gravity,but you only have half of the story.Gravity is responsible for the two forces that pull an object and the earthtowards each other.
Why does a ball fall to the ground?
The reaction force exerted by a ball on the earth is hard to see because the earth is much heavier than the ball. It the ball were as heavy as the earth the earth will do feel the reaction. A basketball weighs about 1 and a half pounds, the Earth weighs 13,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds. It's sort of like asking why you don't feel the blow when a mosquito lands on you. The difference being that you only weigh 30,000,000 times more than the mosquito while the Earth weighs many, many, many, many, many times more than the ball.
At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?
The weight of an object becomes half at a height where the gravitational force is half of the force on Earth, about 3,578 km above Earth's surface. At this height, the object and Earth are attracted with equal and opposite force.
What is the force of gravity at the surface of Pluto?
There are forces of gravity between every speck of mass in the universe and every other speck of mass, no matter where they are, how far apart, or how large or small, all the time, everywhere, right now.
If you're on Mars will you be squashed by the gravity?
No. The strength of gravity on Mars is less than half of that on Earth.
Is the moon's surface gravity is only half the earth's?
No, the moon's surface gravity is only one sixth (1/6) of the earth's.
Do bathroom scales measure mass or force?
weight It measures the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts you toward the center of the Earth. It's not necessary to measure the magnitude of the force that attracts the Earth toward the center of you. Not only don't you care about that one, but we know that it's exactly the same as the first one.
