What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the force that pulls object down towards the centre of the Earth?
The force that pulls objects down towards the center of the Earth is called gravity.
What is a force which draws things down toward the center or the earth?
Gravity is the force that draws things down towards the center of the Earth. It is responsible for the weight of objects on Earth and determines the motion of celestial bodies in the universe.
What is a force which pulls you down?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
If you drilled a hole straight through the earth and dropped a bowling ball down the hole would the ball come to rest at the center?
The ball will NOT come to rest. It will oscillate around the center of the earth in simple harmonic motion. Incorrect. the ball will rapidly reach a terminal velocity ( maximum speed given the resistance of the air). as the ball gets closer to the center of the earth it will slow down as the force pulling the ball towards the earth it has already passed through becomes closer to the force of the earth the ball has not yet passed. Upon reaching the center of the earth. the bal will minimal , and for a short time, oscillate until rapidly coming to rest at the center of gravity.
Weight of an object will be minimum when placed at?
The weight of an object will be minimum at high point like mountain. This is because weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from center of earth to the object. As high places like mountain is far from earth center, there is minimun weight. But at the center of earth the weight becomes null as gravity pull takes place in all direction from the center.
How far down is it from the surface of the earth to the center?
6378 km I think that is about 3963 miles?
On the Earth down means toward the Earth's?
center
How far is the surface of the Earth to the center of the Earth?
The average distance from the surface of the Earth to the center is about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles).
what effects how strong earths gravity is?
The Earth's mass, and how far you are from the center of the Earth.
How far is earth from the center?
The galactic center is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 24 - 26,000 light years (around 7,600 parsecs) from Earth.
Is there really a center of the earth like they say in books and movies?
There is a center of the earth but we cannot travel to it like they do in books and movies. The center of the earth is made of an iron core, which creates the phenomenon of magnetization. The center of the earth is far too hot and strong to get to.
How far is the Earth's crust?
the earth's crust is 2100 ki. down the earth.
If you dug a hole through the center of the earth and jumped in would you stay at the center because of gravity?
Not necessarily, the place you land depends on how far you jump into the hole. Gravity won't pull you to the center, gravity only pulls things down and not sideways.
What has more pressure the center or surface of the earth?
The center, because that is where all the gravity of Earth pulls you down(this is why when you jump you come down) create lots of friction and pressure
How far is the inner core from the center of the earth?
the anwer is that it is 3160 miles
Is there a certain location of the center of the Earth?
Yes. If you dig down deep enough and go to the right place, you are at or in the center of the Earth.
Could a black hole at the center of the Milky Way change gravity on Earth?
No. The black hole at the center of the galaxy is too far away to affect earth.
