If the bathroom scale reads 500N when the man stands on it, then that's a clear
indication that the force of gravity between the man and the Earth is 500N.
That number is referred to as the man's "weight" on Earth. It's also the Earth's
weight on the man.
9.8 newtons, down
The force responsible for keeping you on Earth's surface is the gravitational force. This force is generated by the mass of the Earth, which pulls objects towards its center.
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
When you push up on an object, you are applying an additional force that is opposing gravity, increasing the total force acting on the object, including your weight. When you push down on an object, you are applying a force that opposes gravity and counteracts part of the force of gravity acting on the object, hence reducing the effective weight felt by the object.
I'd assume Yes. It makes sence that the further you get from the earth the lesser it's pull of gravity, although it would be a miniscule difference. However, the denser gasses that collect within a mile from earth may cancel out this minimal difference or even make it greater.
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Gravity.
Gravity is strongest at the earths surface because it's atmosphere is v dense and so the force inc.this happens because force is directly proportional to density.
9.8 newtons, down
The force responsible for keeping you on Earth's surface is the gravitational force. This force is generated by the mass of the Earth, which pulls objects towards its center.
Gravity.
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
the force on say, a 1 kg mass anywhere on earths surface, is approximately 9.8 newtons, the reaction force on the earth is the same
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
Gravity is the force of nature that pulls in Earth's water, keeping it on the surface of the planet. This gravitational force is responsible for the tides and the shape of the ocean basins.
When you push up on an object, you are applying an additional force that is opposing gravity, increasing the total force acting on the object, including your weight. When you push down on an object, you are applying a force that opposes gravity and counteracts part of the force of gravity acting on the object, hence reducing the effective weight felt by the object.
