What else can I help you with?
Would a smaller planet than earth with the same shape and size have more gravity?
If the planet is smaller, then it can't have the same size. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same density as Earth (and therefore less mass), its surface gravity will be smaller. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same mass as Earth (and therefore more density), its surface gravity will be greater. This is because we would be closer to the planet's center - or to the planet's matter in general.
On a distant planet the acceleration due to gravity is less than it is on earth Would you float more easily in water on this planet than on earth?
Both your weight and the water pressure would decrease, so it would be the same as on earth. Floating is nothing to do with the size of g, provided it isn't zero, or water pressure. If your density is less than that of water, you will float.
Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
What do you do to find your weight on other planets?
To find your weight on other planets, you would multiply your weight on Earth by the planet's surface gravity relative to Earth's surface gravity. For example, your weight on Mars would be your weight on Earth multiplied by 0.38, as Mars' surface gravity is 0.38 times that of Earth.
How much would a 100 lb person weigh on a planet twice the mass of earth?
That would depend on the planet's radius. The strength of gravity depends on both the mass of the object in question and the distance from its center of mass. If the planet in question had the same radius as Earth, then the person would weigh 200 lbs as gravity would be twice as strong. If the planet had the same density as Earth it would have 1.26 times Earth's radius and gravity would be 1.26 times as strong and the person would weigh 126 lbs. If the planet had about 1.41 times Earth's radius then that person's would weight 100 lbs.
What would be the gravity in relatation to earth of a planet with 3.4 times the gravity on earth?
You already stated in the question that it has 3.4 times the gravity of Earth.
Would a smaller planet than earth with the same shape and size have more gravity?
If the planet is smaller, then it can't have the same size. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same density as Earth (and therefore less mass), its surface gravity will be smaller. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same mass as Earth (and therefore more density), its surface gravity will be greater. This is because we would be closer to the planet's center - or to the planet's matter in general.
How much would an object with a mass of 5 kg weigh on Planet A?
Well you would need to know the force of Gravity on the surface of Planet A to answer this. The equation to use would be 5 multiplied by the force of gravity on Planet A = the weight in kilograms. So if Gravity on planet A was twice that on Earth then it would weigh 10Kg and if it was 1/2 that on Earth it would weigh 2.5 kg.
On a distant planet the acceleration due to gravity is less than it is on earth Would you float more easily in water on this planet than on earth?
Both your weight and the water pressure would decrease, so it would be the same as on earth. Floating is nothing to do with the size of g, provided it isn't zero, or water pressure. If your density is less than that of water, you will float.
What is the gravity on the planet Io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter, not a planet. Surface gravity is about 18% of the gravity on Earth.
Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth sized planet whose mass was greater than earth why?
Your weight is directly proportional to the mass and gravity of the planet, if the planet has a greater gravity and mass, you will weigh more.
What planet has stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
All of them do. There's no planet where the gravity is the same as on Earth.
What do you do to find your weight on other planets?
To find your weight on other planets, you would multiply your weight on Earth by the planet's surface gravity relative to Earth's surface gravity. For example, your weight on Mars would be your weight on Earth multiplied by 0.38, as Mars' surface gravity is 0.38 times that of Earth.
How strong is the gravity on Gliese 581c?
If it is a rocky planet with a large iron core, Gliese 581c has a radius approximately 50% larger than that of Earth. Gravity on such a planet's surface would be approximately 2.24 times as strong as on Earth. If Gliese 581 c is an icy and/or watery planet, its radius would be less than 2 times that of Earth, even with a very large outer hydrosphere. Gravity on the surface of such an icy and/or watery planet would be at least 1.25 times as strong as on Earth.
What is the gravity of planet Pluto?
The surface gravity on Pluto would be 0.58 meters/second2, or about 1/17th that of earth's.
What would be the gravity in relation to Earth of a planet 3.4 times the gravity of Mercury?
It is 3.055.<-not a decimal just a period
