The lowering of the center of gravity will make it easier for the person to balance. The person will use less muscular energy to maintain his balance with that lower center of gravity.

Does gravity contribute to your weight and height?

Yes, the measurement of your weight certainly depends on gravity as weight is mass multiplied by gravity, w=mg. Therefore, on the moon you would weigh less as your mass would stay the same but the gravitational field strength is less. The affect of gravity on height is not so obvious, although a stronger gravitational pull would cause the spine to contract, altering a persons height by mere millimetres.


The effect of gravity on a persons mass?

Nothing. A mass represents the totall inertia of a certain object, which is dependant on the amount of matter and energy that constitutes such object. Gravity has nothing to do with mass. However, weight is dependant on gravity. weight is a force, force= mass x acceleration. When we talk about weight, the gravitational force affecting a certain object, we mean mass x gravitational acceleration (g) so weight = mass x g.


Does weight vary according to the force of gravity?

yes as the wight is directly proportional to gravity. In fact, weight itself is a force, as force is F=ma, such as weight on earth (or F) is a persons mass times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.8 m/s2), and the force due to gravity changes depending where you are sense force due to gravity is F=G(m1m2/r2). So changing the mass of the planet changes the "weight" (aka force)


How does gravity relate to a persons mass?

The WEIGHT is the measure of the force of gravity on an object (including people).weight = mass x gravitational field The gravitational field near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
