What happends to gravity when you get fuerther away?
As you move further away from a planet or other massive object, the force of gravity weakens. This is because gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. So, the gravitational pull decreases as distance increases.
How does distance affect the force of gravity between 2 objects?
The farther apart two objects are, the less the gravitational force between them. Gravity gets weaker with distance. To be specific, it decreases by the square of the distance. If you double the distance (multiply the distance by 2), the force of gravity is 1/22 or 1/4th as great as it was. If you triple the distance, the force is 1/32 or 1/9th as great, and so on.
If your mass was doubled what will happen to the force of gravity between you and the earth?
If your mass was doubled, the force of gravity between you and the Earth would also double. This is because gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, if one mass doubles, the gravitational force between them will also double.
How does force affect distance?
Assuming you mean the force of gravity. As the distance increases, the force of gravity is reduced exponentially. Double the distance between two bodies, the gravitational force is reduced four times.
If you double the mass of an object on earth do you double its weight?
Yes. The weight is simply the mass, multiplied by the gravity.
When mercury is the smallest planet why does it have gravity that matches mars which is larger?
Gravity depends on two factors: the mass of an object and the distance from the center of gravity. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. In a uniform gravitational field mass is directly proportional to weight. Mercury has less mass than Mars does but it is also denser , meaning more mass is compacted into a given amount of space, so an object on the surface is closer to the center of mass. In more accurate terms, gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object exerting it. If you double the mass you double the strength of gravity. By contrast, the strength of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. If you double your distance you will experience one quarter the gravity. Mars is 1.388 times the diameter and 1.94391 times the radius of Mercury. If you do the math with these numbers you will find that the resulting surface gravity is nearly the same between the two.
In what way is gravity reduced with distance from earth?
Gravity is reduced with distance from Earth because gravitational force follows the inverse square law, meaning it decreases proportionally to the square of the distance. As an object moves farther from Earth, the gravitational attraction weakens exponentially. This weakening effect is why objects in space experience microgravity or weightlessness.
What is Inverse-Square rule of gravitation?
You are at earths surface (call this 1 radius (1r) from earth center) with acceleration due to gravity at say 10 (m/s)/s, if you double your distance (in terms of radius this = 2r) and install in equation: a= 10/(2(r)^2) inverse square law a= 10/4 a= 2.5 (m/s)/s 2* distance = 1/4 the gravity 3* distance = 1/9 the gravity 4* distance = 1/16 the gravity
Why is gravity so poor in outerspace?
eg : if you double your distance from the source, you quarter its effect.
Explain how a larger planet could have a smaller surface face gravity then a smaller planet or why it could not?
The strength of gravity from a given object is directly proportional to the object's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of mass. So, if we double an object's mass the gravity is double. If we triple the mass the gravity is tripled. By contrast if we double the distance we end up with one quarter the gravity. If we triple the distance we end up with only one ninth the gravity.The formula for the strength of gravity is: g=G*M/r^2"G" is the Newtonian gravitational constant, "M" is the mass of the object, and "r" is the distance tot he center of mass.In the case of the surface gravity of a planet, the distance to the center of mass is the planet's radius. So if two planets have the same mass but are of different sizes, the larger planet will actually have weaker surface gravity. In most cases a larger planet will have a greater mass than a smaller one, but not always as planets vary in density. Event if the larger planet is more massive, the larger size can still result in weaker gravity.A perfect example would be a comparison between Earth and Uranus. Uranus is about 4 times the radius and about 14.5 times the mass of Earth. From these figures we find that the gravity on Uranus is 0.906 times or 90.6% of Earth's surface gravity.
What force of gravity exists at two times the Earth's radius?
Assuming you mean from the center of the Earth: 1/22 = 1/4, that is, 1/4 the gravity at the Earth's surface. If you mean two Earth radii from the surface, then the distance from the Earth's center would be 3 times as much, and the force would be 1/9, compared to the Earth's surface. _______________________________ The force of gravity changes with the reciprocal of the square of the distance. So if the distance is increased by a factor of 2, the force will DECREASE by a factor of two squared, or 4. So, double the distance = one-quarter the force.
Why does your weight decrease the farther away you get from the center of the Earth?
No. Mass is constant. Weight decreases.My answerNo Mass is a measure of how hard a thing is to move (it is measure in pounds or Kilos on the surface of the Earth as @ one Gravity they are equal)Weight reduces as you move away from the Earth as it depends on Gravity
What is 2 stars that orbit a center of gravity called?
That's called a double star.
How would the force of gravity between two objects change if the mass if each object were doubled?
The Gravity would Double.
How does the distance between objects affect the gravity them between?

If you double the distance (multiply the distance by 2), the force of gravity is 1/22 or 1/4th as great as it was. If you triple the distance, the force is 1/32 or 1/9th as great, and so on.

What happens to the mass and weight when gravity changes?
If you say, double the distance, the force of gravity is one quarter (f = 1/22 = 1/4) If you say, treble the distance, the force of gravity is one ninth (f = 1/32 = 1/9) If you say, halve the distance, the force of gravity is four times (f = 1/0.52 = 1/0.25 = 4)
