What else can I help you with?
When and object slides over a smooth horizontal surface how does the force of friction depend on the force of gravity on the object?
If the surface is smooth then it is almost frictionless. Hence the body will continue to move with constant velocity. However the object continues in a circular path and the weight is thus the centripetal force. It is assumed that the surface is very large)
What force always tends to slow the motion of an object on a surface?
Friction or gravity .
Do force exist to object at rest?
There CAN be, as long as the force is being counterd by an equal and opposite force.
What would happen to an object when normal force and force of gravity is applied?
When a normal force and force of gravity act on an object, the object will either remain stationary if the forces are balanced, or accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force if there is a net force acting on it. The normal force is perpendicular to the surface the object is in contact with, while the force of gravity acts vertically downward towards the center of the Earth.
How to prove that normal force is equal to the product of mass and gravity?
The normal force is what prevents an object from falling through the ground. The force of gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, so the ground that the object sits on must apply an equal force in the opposite direction (Newton's Third Law), other wise the object would fall through.
What force works with gravity?
The normal force is a force that works with gravity. It is exerted by a surface in contact with an object and acts perpendicular to the surface to support the weight of the object and prevent it from falling through.
What is the force that supports an object against gravity?
The force that supports an object against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface to prevent objects from falling through it. The normal force equals the force of gravity acting on the object.
What is plutos mass and weight?
mass is the amount of matter that something has, not affected by gravity. Gravity is a force or traction. Lastly weight is the force of gravity pulling on an object or a mass
What is the force that resists gravity?
The force that resists gravity is called normal force. It is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.
What is a force exerted on an object which is perpendicular to the surface of contact?
A force exerted on an object perpendicular to the surface of contact is called the normal force. It is the force that acts vertically upward or downward between an object and a surface, balancing out the force of gravity acting on the object.
What is the force of gravity of a person or object at the surface of planet?
because it does
What force always acts in the opposite direction from gravity?
The normal force, exerted by a surface in contact with an object, always acts perpendicular to the surface and in the direction opposite to gravity to keep the object from falling through the surface.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
The force of gravity acting on an object when it is sitting on the Earth is simply referred to as the object's weight. This force is what keeps the object anchored to the surface of the Earth.
What is the upward force on an object?
The upward force on an object is a measure of the force exerted on it in the opposite direction to gravity. It is often called the normal force and counteracts the downward pull of gravity to keep the object from falling through a surface.
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.
What is the force that acts against gravity?
The force that acts against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface supporting an object, pushing upwards to prevent the object from falling due to gravity.
Which one of the following objects will have the greatest force of graity to the earth at its surface?
The object with the greatest force of gravity to the Earth at its surface would be a lead sphere. This is because the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object, and lead is a dense material, resulting in a larger force of gravity.
