Gravity

One of the four fundamental interactions, gravity is responsible for the fact that any objects with mass attract one another. According to general relativity, it is a space time curvature, but according to quantum mechanics it is the result of exchanges of virtual gravitons.

What is value of gravity on earth?

weight = Force of gravity

Force= Mass x acceleration

so Force of gravity = Mass x -9.81

that's -9.81 is acceleration in relation to the force on earth. and its negative because gravity pulls things down in a negative direction towards earth.

mass= weight in kg

acceleration= -9.81 m/s^2 on earth

force = is how much gravity pulls on the object and its in Newton's.

how this is what you wanted

What forces act on a frictionless air puck as it moves across a table in a straight line?

The main force acting on a frictionless air puck moving in a straight line across a table is inertia, which keeps the puck in motion. Additionally, there may be forces like gravity and normal force acting on the puck, but these forces do not affect its horizontal motion since the table is assumed to be horizontal.

A gravitational pull what exists between you and every object in the universe?

Sort of...any body of mass exerts its own gravitational pull (the Suns gravitational pull keeps Earth in its orbit, while the Earth's gravitational pull keeps the Moon in its orbit - and us on the surface). Even Humans, dogs, turtles and snails exert some gravitational influence on their surroundings - but in such a low strength as to not have any noticable impact on the immediate surroundings.

What object in the solar system has the most gravitational force a planet has?

At any given distance, the object with the greatest mass also has the greatest gravitational force. That's the Sun. The Sun also has the largest surface gravity.

Do stars have gravitational pull if so how strong is the force of it?

No. The stars are much too far away for the Earth's existence

to have any measurable effect on them.

How does Venus' atmosphere and gravity compare to earth's?

Venus' atmosphere is much denser and primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with very little oxygen. Its atmosphere exerts a much higher pressure compared to Earth's atmosphere. Venus has a slightly weaker gravitational pull than Earth, with a surface gravity of about 91% of Earth's gravity.

Howdoes gravity affect people?

Yes, gravity affects all things in the universe that have mass (and even some things that don't, like light.)

So sadly, as much fun as it would be to fly, your body is not exempt from gravity.

Earths gravitational pull just got there three times stronger what happens to your weight?

If the mass of the Earth were to increase, your weight might go up. Or it might not, depending on how the new mass was distributed. If the diameter of the Earth also increased, then you might be enough farther away from the increased mass that your apparent weight would be the same or even go down.

In order to increase the mass of the Earth by enough to make a real difference, the Earth would need to get new mass by colliding with a large asteroid or another planet. In that case, your increased weight would be the least of your worries, since we would all be dead.

What Suppose the moon were closer to the Earth. How would the Force of gravity between Earth and the Moon be different?

If it happened in a moment, I think the moon's orbit would become much more eccentric (elliptical) than it is now.

the moon's compostition is made of rocky material such as rocka and a lot of dust

What is Einstein's theory of gravity?

The theory that Einstein developed which pertains to gravity is called general relativity.

Does the angle of incline depend on the acceleration of gravity?

The only force acting on the object (let's say a cart) that is released at a certain inclination (30 degrees) is gravity.

If we follow the formulas:

Fgx=mgSinO

Fnet=ma

Fgx=Fnet

Therefore:

mgSinO=ma

and you can simplify this formula to: gSinO=a

m= mass

g= gravitational force (9.8m/s^2)

SinO= sin of angle (Sin30 degrees)

a=acceleration

What are the units for the force of gravity?

We cannot measure gravitational forces. Instead, we have to calculate it based on values we are given. The SI unit is N/kg or m/s2 (acceleration), depending on the units given. On Earth, the gravitational force is generalized as 10m/s2 or 10N/kg (to 1 decimal place, it is 9.8 for both).

What is the ratio gravity of Venus?

The ratio gravity on Mars to gravity on Earth is 1 to 2.64, while the ratio gravity on Earth to gravity on mars is 1 to .621.


So a person on earth weighing 100 pounds would weigh 62 pounds on mars, and a 200 pound person would weigh 124

Why specific gravity has no unit or dimensionless?

Because it's the ratio of two densities ... the density of the substance of interest

to the density of water.

In any ratio, the units of both quantities are the same, so the ratio winds up being

a dimensionless number.

How does gravity determine the shape of an orbit?

Under the Sun's gravity a planet follows an elliptical orbit that conforms to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. This was discovered at the end of the 1600s by Isaac Newton.

Which planet has less gravity compare to earth?

Relative to the Earth, any planet with less mass density or volume. If a planet is smaller in all of these respects gravity will decrease. a lot of times with only two and very occasionally with only one. the planets in our solar system that do are venus mars and mercury.

Which of these is a grouping of billions of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity?

A galaxy.

We live in one corner of a galaxy that we have named the "Milky Way" galaxy. It is thought to contain anywhere from 200 to perhaps 400 billion stars.

The grouping of billions of stars, gas, and dust into a physically metastable rotating state by gravity is, by definition, a galaxy.

Good things about gravity?

Gravity is both good and bad. It helps us to drink water, eat food. We are able to stay on the ground because of gravity. Without gravity we will not be able to stay alive. The disadvantage is that it opposes the upward motion of any object.So gravity is both good and bad.

How does gravity affects space junk?

There are several causes for man-made space debris.

The first is discarded parts from launched spacecraft and rockets. These can be entire burned-out upper stages, pieces that have come off during operation or stage separation like bolts, rivets, pieces of metal/plastic/insulation foam, paint chips etc.

The second are spacecraft themselves: satellites that have reached the end of their useful life because they've suffered from a critical failure or from degradation that limits their capabilities below useful, or because they simply ran out of fuel for station-keeping.

The last part is debris created by collisions of orbiting bodies, which can be natural micrometorites, space junk from one of the first two categories or active spaceraft colliding with each other. One example of this would be the satellite collision on February 10, 2009, when a decomissioned Russian military satellite hit an Iridium communications satellite, destroying both.

Is there gravity on Mars?

Yes, but it is much less than on Earth. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth you would weigh just 56.5 pounds on Mars. The specifics of the gravity on Mars is tjat it is 62% lower to be more precise. That means that Martian gravity is 38% of Earth's.

What is accileration due to gravity on earth?

Acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.

When was gravity found?

Gravity (as we know it) was discovered by accident by Isaac Newton when he was sitting under an apple tree, then all of a sudden an apple hit him on the head which he then proposed the theory of Gravity based on what happen and coined, "What goes up, must come down".
An apple fell on Newton's head and he somehow drew observations and inferences.

What do water wind and gravity do to rocks?

Wind can carry abrasive particles which weather rocks . trees can be uprooted by wind, causing the rocks at their roots to fracture. wind can create waves which can fracture or exploit an existing...

Water can chemically weather rocks by dissolving minerals, water can also physically weather rocks by fracturing them by hydraulic pressure or frost wedging.

Who was the scientist that created the law of gravity?

Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist credited with formulating the law of gravity. His work on gravity and laws of motion were published in his book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
