The acceleration due to gravity from any given object decreases with distance from it. Specifically, gravity scales with the inverse of the square of the distance. That means, for example, if you double your distance, gravitational acceleration is reduced to a quarter of what it was. Most areas of space are quite empty, far from any massive objects, which means that acceleration due to gravity will be quite small. Conversely, some areas of space that are very near massive objects can have enormous gravitational acceleration.
What else can I help you with?
What would be easier for us to do in a low-gravity area Or in a high-gravity area?
In a low-gravity area, it would generally be easier to do activities that involve moving or lifting objects, as there is less force pulling you down. In a high-gravity area, it would be more challenging to move or lift objects due to the increased force of gravity pulling you down.
How does weight differ depending on gravity?
Weight, mathematically speaking, is just mass times acceleration due to gravity. Mass is inherent in the object being weighed, and does not change. However, gravity can change (albeit very slightly) even on different points on the earth's surface. And comparing the earth's surface to that of other planets, gravity changes radically due to the difference between Earth's mass and that of other planets. So the greater gravity is, the greater the weight of a particular object will be. This explains the difference between weights of an object on the earth versus that on other planets -gravity is different on different planets. It also explains why comparing the weights of two objects at the same point on the earth's surface shows the difference in the mass of the two objects: the acceleration due to gravity is the same, so that masses are the only things that change.
What is the gravity on Enceladus?
The gravity on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, is about 0.113 m/s², which is much weaker compared to Earth's gravity. This low gravity is due to Enceladus having a smaller mass and size than Earth.
How can I incorporate the concept of gravity into my school project on building a car?
To incorporate the concept of gravity into your school project on building a car, you can consider how gravity affects the car's weight, stability, and traction. You can also explore how gravity influences the car's acceleration and braking. Additionally, you can design features in your car that take into account the effects of gravity, such as a low center of gravity to improve stability or using materials that are resistant to gravitational forces.
An example of overcoming gravity?
-- holding an apple in your hand -- walking up stairs -- driving up a hill -- washing the 2nd-floor windows with a garden hose -- hanging up your coat -- placing an artificial satellite in low-earth-orbit -- picking up one bowling ball that's standing next to another one
Why is the acceleration due to gravity in the space is low?
Gravity acceleration is not low in space but its the highest.But if you are saying about earth and asking that how astronauts are not attracted. Then that is because we go away from center of earth that attract us.You know that gravity work between two bodies.We also have gravitation pull in us but due to less mass ours is weak and earth's is great.
Do meteorites have atmosphere?
No. Any atmosphere would quickly escape into space, due to the low gravity.
How can gravity be simulated?
gravity can be simulated with the use of an advanced gravity simulator which uses acceleration to equal the weight of the body
How much gravity on planet Mars?
On Mars, there is low gravity, so there you could jump twice as high as you can on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 m/s2, which is 0.379 times that of Earth. (The gravity on Earth is 2.64 times greater than the gravity on Mars.)
Why is there no sea on the moon?
Any sea would quickly evaporate, and go off into outer space, due to the Moon's low gravity.
What are the seasons and cycles of an international space station?
Winter, Spring, Sumer and Autumn. The cycles are bicycles and motorcycles, but these are generally not used, due to their relative uselessness in low gravity.
What problems did astronauts have growing plants in low gravity?
Due to lack of gravity the roots grew upwards.
Is there gravity where space shuttles orbit?
A very low level, called microgravity, that's a small fraction of normal gravity. Astronauts feel weightless, by comparison. Space shuttles orbit at a distance of 100-200 miles above the Earth. The shuttle is actually falling toward the Earth all the time, but the speed of its orbit keeps it from falling any closer. Don't confuse gravity with weight. The Earth's gravity extends to the outer reaches of the Solar System. Earth's gravity is what keeps the satellites which are orbiting the Earth from flying away into space. "Weight" is measure of the local acceleration due to gravity. When a person is in orbit, inside a shuttle, he is falling along with the shuttle at about 17,000 miles per hour. The mass of the shuttle and the mass of the person are attracting each other with 'micro-gravity' which is a million times less than the gravity of the Earth.
Why you always find low pressure near south pole?
due to gravity
Does Kuiper Belt have a atmosphere?
No, the Kuiper Belt does not have an atmosphere. It is a region in space beyond Neptune where icy bodies and dwarf planets are found. These objects are too small to retain an atmosphere due to their low gravity.
Why doesnt the gas on a gas gaiant escape into space as it has on mercury?
it's small size and low gravity
What do bed-rest studies have to do with space travel?
Bed rest mimics low (or micro) gravity situations.
