Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
The force of gravity acting on an object when it is sitting on the Earth is simply referred to as the object's weight. This force is what keeps the object anchored to the surface of the Earth.
What happen to the force of gravity when you get further from the earth?
As you get further away from Earth, the gravitational forces between you and Earth decrease. But the gravitational forces between you and something else might increase, like between you and the moon, or between you and the sun.
What is the force called that gravity is acting on you?
The force exerted by the earth towards itself,known as the gravitational force is called that gravity is acting on you.
What is the relationship between weight and gravity?
The relationship between weight and gravity is that weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, and weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its weight due to the stronger gravitational pull.
The force of gravity acting upon the mass of an object?
That's usually called the object's "weight". Like say if you're talking about the forces of gravity between you and the Earth, the force of gravity acting on you is your weight on the Earth, and the force of gravity acting on the Earth is the Earth's weight on you, and they're equal.
Is there force in space?
No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
What will happen to earth gravity?
There's no known reason why anything should happen to Earth's gravity, and nothing is expected to.
Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?
Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
What is the weakest force acting between Earth and the Sun?
Gravity. Even though we notice the effect of gravity every day it is the weakest of the fundamental forces. However you could argue that the strong nuclear force is the weakest acting between these two bodies, because they are too far away from each other for this force to act.
What would happen if only gravity were operating on earth Would this path take earth closer to the sun?
If only gravity were acting on Earth, it would continue revolving around the Sun in its elliptical orbit without any external forces to change its path. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Sun would keep Earth in its current orbit, so it would not be pulled closer to the Sun.
Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object is what?
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
What would happen to earth if gravity fails?
It will never happen because the earth's gravity is caused by it's mass and it's density.
Why don't we notice a difference between mass and weight on earth?
We don't notice a difference between mass and weight on Earth because the acceleration due to gravity is constant on the surface of the Earth. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, so as long as the acceleration due to gravity remains constant, the weight of an object will be proportional to its mass.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
The force of gravity acting on an object when it is sitting on the Earth is simply referred to as the object's weight. This force is what keeps the object anchored to the surface of the Earth.
What are the forces acting on a falling object on earth?
Gravity and air resistance.
What are forces acting on you?
-- gravity, between me and a huge number of other masses, mainly the Earth -- indigestion -- employment -- marriage -- mortgage -- other debt
