The average equatorial surface gravity on Earth is 0.99732 g

On the moon it is 0.1654 g The numerical constant G that is used in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is a constant no matter where you are. (6.67 X 10-11).

How would the time period of a simple pendulum clock be affected if it were on the moon instead of the earth?

The time period of a pendulum would increases it the pendulum were on the moon instead of the earth. The period of a simple pendulum is equal to 2*pi*√(L/g), where g is acceleration due to gravity. As gravity decreases, g decreases. Since the value of g would be smaller on the moon, the period of the pendulum would increase. The value of g on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, whereas the value of g on the moon is 1.624 m/s2. This makes the period of a pendulum on the moon about 2.47 times longer than the period would be on Earth.


Value of gravitational constant on earth and moon?

It's the same as that of Earth but the value of g varies from one object to the other. The value of the gravitational constant or the BIG "G" remains constant. I think you confused it with the LITTLE "g" which is the gravitation of a object (one with mass) or the acceleration due to gravity. The value of g on Earth and Moon is 9.8m/s^2 and 1.6249m/s^2, respectively. I hope this answers you all.


Value of g in universe?

I think that g (the gravitational constant) varies dependent on your proximity to other massive bodies. For example the value of g on the moon is less than the value of g on earth. It is not constant throughout the universe.


What happens to the objects weight when it travel's to the moon?

weight is defined as the force acting on a body in a gravitational field, so it is can be written asW = mg where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to gravity.On earth g has a value of approx. 9.81 ms-2 whereas on the moon the value of g is approx. 1.7ms-2. So the weight of an object decreases by a factor of 1/6th of its original value when taken on the moon.


What is the ratio of natural frequency on earth to moon?

The ratio of the natural frequency on Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.7:1. This means that vibrations or oscillations on Earth occur about 3.7 times faster than on the Moon due to differences in gravity and mass between the two celestial bodies.


Why has the earth got gravity and the moon has not?

Basically the question is wrong or the concept of gravity in your brain is wrong, as gravity exists both at moon and earth, but the value of "g" varies as at earth it is 9.81m/s^2, and at moon it is some what around 1.8m/s^2.


What is the value of G at center of earth?

Zero.


What is the mass of something on earth that weighs 39 newtons on the moon?

W = mgLet G be Earth's acceleration due to gravity.mass (m) of the object is constant.Therefore weight on earth :W = mG-> W = 9.8m ....(substituting G by its universal value)Gravitation on Moon : G/6Weight on Moon :W1 = mG/6->W1 = 1.6mAs given : 1.6m = 39=> m = 390/16=> m = 24.375 kgsTherefore weight on earth = (9.8 x 24.375) newtons= 238.875 NAns. 238.875 Newtons is the weight24.375 is the mass.


What is the value of 'g' if the earth stops rotating?

If the Earth were to stop rotating, the value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) would remain approximately the same at the Earth's surface. The rotation of the Earth does not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced on the surface.


What is the periodic time of a 0.5m pendulum on the moon?

note: (g(moon)= 1/6g(earth))


What is the force that pulls objects down towards the moon?

The force we are talking about is the force of gravity... which we usually denote with small g... its value on earth is approx. 9.8m/s2 or 32ft/s2. The force of gravity of moon is 1/8th to that of the earth...... This is due to this less force of gravity that we feel weightlessness on moon...


What is the value of 'g' on Pluto?

The value of 'g' on Pluto is about 0.063 times the value of 'g' on Earth, which is equivalent to about 0.62 m/s^2. This means that gravity on Pluto is much weaker than on Earth.
