Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.
Is mars smaller or larger than earth?
Smaller, Mars is about half the size of Earth
Is sedna smaller than earth?
Sedna is thought to be less than 1600 km across, which would make it very much smaller than the Earth. We do not have really good dimensions yet.
Where does the earth find the power to rotate?
It doesn't work like that. You don't need power to keep an object rotating. Any object that is rotating will continue rotating, unless it is slowed down, by friction for example.
Why is the earth smaller then the moon?
It isn't smaller - Earth is larger.
Why a falling object to earth's gravity does not continue forever?
Once it hits the Earth's surface, it will stop falling.
Why earth is rotating at its own axis?
Any object that rotates has a tendency to continue rotating.
What would happen to earth if the moon were to be replaced with an object that had Jupiters mass?
nothing would happen
Does a falling object that is falling towards the earth exert a smaller force on the earth than the force exerted by the earth onto the object?
No, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the force exerted by the object on the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the Earth on the object.
Why is the moon the biggest cellestial object seen from the earth?
As you know, it is a satellite of the earth. Any object smaller than the earth and nearest to the earth will either fall to earth or circle around it due to a previous inertia. Artificial satellites can be cited as examples
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.
How much above earth distance an object do not falls?
An object will continue to orbit Earth at a certain distance above its surface, as long as its velocity counteracts the gravitational pull of Earth. This is known as achieving orbit, where the object remains in free fall around Earth due to a balance between its forward momentum and the pull of gravity.
Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Does the object weigh more on the earth or moon?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
What happens as an object falls towards the earth?
It accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8m/s2. Depending on the object and how high above the earth it started, it may reach terminal velocity at which point it will no longer accelerate, but will continue to fall at a constant velocity.
What will happen to watch if the moon were replaced with an object that had the mass of jupim?
Jupiter is so big that the Earth would orbit Jupiter.
Ignoring air resistance what is the velocity of an object falling toward the surface of the earth?
The velocity of an object falling towards the surface of the Earth will increase by a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s² due to gravity. This acceleration would continue until the object reaches terminal velocity or impacts the surface of the Earth.
