This means that during space flight the astronaut is feeling a force which is 5 times that of gravity, therefore the astronaut is being pulled five times as much as he is standing on the planet

Why does the materials thrown upward during meteorite collisions fall back to the moon's surface?

Our Earth's only Moon enjoys a fraction of the Earth's gravity - there is some gravity there.


If a rock is tossed on the moon what force acts on the rock during its curved path?

The force acting on the rock when it is tossed on the moon is gravity. Gravity is responsible for keeping the rock in orbit around the moon and causing it to follow a curved path as it falls towards the surface.


Are gravity pulls stronger or weaker during a spring tide?

gravity is always pretty much the same (9.81 m/s^2 downward acceleration) wherever you are on earth, unless you are several kilometers above or below the surface.


Why Venus is the same size of earth and the same gravity?

Since Earth and Venus are roughly the same size AND have roughly the same mass, they have roughly the same gravity. The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Venus is 90.3% of what it is on Earth's surface.


What tide occurs when the gravity of the sun and moon pull earths surface in opposite directions?

When the gravity of the sun and moon pull Earth's surface in opposite directions, it results in a neap tide. During neap tides, the difference between high and low tides is minimized, occurring during the first and third quarters of the moon. This happens because the gravitational forces partially cancel each other out, leading to lower tidal ranges.


What is the surface gravity of a neutron star?

Well, isn't that a fascinating question. The surface gravity of a neutron star is incredibly strong, many billions of times stronger than Earth's gravity. It's like trying to hold on to a massive bouquet of happy little clouds!


Will gravity last forever?

Gravity is a force that lasts only when the mass/ body that supports it exists. Earth has a magnetic field, as you may know already, and it is caused by the movement of minerals underneath the surface. Once Earth's "lifetime" comes to an end, the earth will erupt. During this time, the Earth's "body" will no longer exist therefore, gravity will disappear.


Is there gravity in India?

There is gravity everywhere in the universe. So, if India is somewhere in the universe, then there is gravity there. This is a big part of the reason that people in India are able to walk around during the day, and stay on their beds during the night.


For how long did the force of gravity last during the experiment?

The force of gravity lasted throughout the entire experiment.

What is max or min the acceleration due to gravity experienced by Surface to Air Missile during the flight?

The acceleration due to gravity is almost constant during the entire flight. A minimal difference is found due to altitude, the further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational acceleration, so in a SAM the point when the missile is at it's greatest altitude will have the lowest gravitational acceleration component.
