How much is Sedna's gravity compared to Earth's gravity?
Sedna's gravity is significantly weaker than Earth's gravity. Sedna is a distant dwarf planet located in the outer reaches of our solar system, and its smaller size and mass result in a much weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.
the rule of gravity is the greater mass a planet is the stronger its gravitational pull is so the suns mass is so heavy that its gravitational pull is so strong it keeps all the planets in line
I suppose it could exist; water would exert gravitation just like anything else that has mass. Just like our Earth, the planet would have to be either massive enough, or cold enough, to avoid the water vapor gradually evaporating into space.
Yes, gravity is good for us.
-Keeps us on the ground and enable to walk and stand on the earth
-Creates tides in the ocean
-Keeps the moon and the plants in their orbits
-It makes the earth habitable by trapping the necessary gasses and liquids
-Enables us to send satellites into space and retrieve them
How come you measure other planets gravity based on earth's gravity?
We always think of unknown things in terms of things that we do know. So if I tell you that a planet's gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared, is that more or less than you are accustomed to? Could you stand up?
Actually, that IS Earth's gravity, and yes, you can.
Do black holes have a critical mass?
The answer is more complicated than a mere 'yes' or 'no'. Dr. Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes emit a certain amount of thermal radiation (this became known as Hawking radiation). According to his predictions, the amount of radiation emitted by a particular black hole is inversely proportional to its mass. If he is correct, it means that there is a critical point where the mass of the black hole results in Hawking radiation emissions of a 'temperature' equal to that of the cosmic microwave background, approximately 2.7K (you can think of this as the temperature of space). Any larger, and even the cosmic microwave background serves to feed the black hole. Any smaller, and it will eventually evaporate.
The exact mass needed for such an occurance (the 'critical mass') is not something that can be easily written down. It varies, somewhat, based on the type of black hole. That said, any black holes of mass equal to, or less than, that of the Moon could generally be expected to evaporate over time.
All of this is speculation, however. Any black hole of sufficient mass to remain stable over time will emit so little radiation that it will be indistinguishable from the cosmic microwave background. Only a short lived black hole could be observed in such a manner, and we have yet to observe any.
How do the pull of gravity indicate that earth shape is spehric?
The pull of gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the equator due to the Earth's rotation. This causes objects to be slightly heavier at the poles than at the equator, which is evidence of the Earth's spherical shape. Additionally, the way objects fall toward the center of the Earth in all directions indicates a spherical geometry.
What is gravity of the atmosphere?
The force of attraction between the Earth and all other particles of matter in its atmosphere. The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s^2. This means that, no matter what the weight of the object is, it accelerates towards the Earth at 9.81 m each second and the Earth 9.81 m towards it.
How can gravity be simulated in an orbiting space ship?
Gravity can be simulated in an orbiting spaceship through methods like rotation, producing centrifugal force that mimics the effects of gravity. This can create a feeling of weight and stability for astronauts on board. Additionally, there are artificial gravity systems that use acceleration or magnetism to replicate gravitational forces in space.
Why does gravity not pull on a space shuddle?
The space shuttle is in a state of free fall around Earth, following an orbit, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down. This allows the space shuttle to remain in a stable path without being pulled down by gravity.
What do you think would happen if there wasn't any gravity on earth?
If there was no gravity on Earth, everything would float freely in space. Objects would not be pulled towards the Earth's center, causing disruptions in our everyday activities, such as walking, driving, and even breathing. The absence of gravity would lead to a completely different and challenging environment for life on Earth.
Can center of gravity lies outside the figure of an object?
Yes. For example in the case of a doughnut shape, the center of gravity is in the center of the doughnut - and that is outside the doughnut.
Or a boomerang or horseshoe type shape, the center of gravity could easily position off of the object.
Is there gravity on Ganymede and Callisto?
Yes, both Ganymede and Callisto, which are moons of Jupiter, have gravity due to their mass. However, the gravitational force on these moons is weaker than on Earth because they are much smaller and less massive.
Frequency and density aren't involved as 'bare quantities' in force.
The bare quantities that constitute force are mass, length, and time,
and the physical dimension of force is
(mass) x (length)/(time)2 .
The 'length' and 'time' combine to result in (length)/(time)2, and that's
the 'acceleration' that you did include.
How much distance from earth to defy gravity?
It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.
Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?
Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.
Who gave the theory of gravity?
Modern work on gravitational theory began with the work of Galileo Galilei in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. In his famous ) experiment dropping balls from the Tower of Pisa, and later with careful measurements of balls rolling down inclines, Galileo showed that gravitation accelerates all objects at the same rate.
In 1687, English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton published Principia, which hypothesizes the inverse-square law of universal gravitation.
The Gravity on the Moon is much weaker than the Gravity on Earth, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of the Gravity on Earth. So for example: An Object that weighs 690 N on Earth will weigh 115 N on the moon. In order to get your answer, just divide any number by 6 and you will get your answer.
Answer:
360 N on Earth will result as 60 N on the moon.
Why are objects in freefall considered Weightless?
Because the object's inertial motion is equal to the gravitational acceleration.
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration (W=mg), so you would feel weightless, but your mass stays the same.
What is the gravity percentage on the moon?
Compared to what ?
-- Compared to the surface of Mars, it's 43.7% as much.
-- Compared to the surface of Pluto, it's 2.8 times as much.
-- Compared to the surface of the Earth, it's 16.5% as much.
What is the gravity on the planet Io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter, not a planet. Surface gravity is about 18% of the gravity on Earth.
Does gravity pull a spacecraft towards the nearest planet?
Yes, gravity pulls a spacecraft towards the nearest planet because objects with mass attract each other. The gravitational force between the spacecraft and the planet causes the spacecraft to be pulled towards the planet as it travels through space.
Why do astronauts feel weightlessness?
They feel weightless because they are indeed weightless when in orbit, in effect in freefall. Gravity tries to pull them down but the spacecraft motion carries it "past the planet" in an arc that is part of a circular or elliptical orbit. If the spacecraft slows down, it will be pulled toward the Earth by the considerable gravitational force.
If an astronaut tries to use an ordinary scale to measure her weight, all attempts will be useless. The vessel she is in is under the influence of Earth's gravity, it is true, as is her body. But the vessel and her body are in the same orbit, at the same velocity. If she is motionless at the center of the vessel, no unbalanced forces will push her "down" toward the floor or hull of the vessel. And if there are some unbalanced forces, they are so small as to be negligible for all practical purposes. She will not be able to 'step' onto a scale, unless she is in some kind of rotating vessel, which would provide a kind of artificial gravity.
