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.

Gravity.


Why is gravity strongest at Earth's surface?

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.

Which fundamental force of nature is responsible for keeping you on earths surface?

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.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface 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

What force of nature pulls in earths water?

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 when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?

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.
