The force of gravity on every object on Earth is the product of 9.8 meters per second2
times the object's mass. We call the size of that force the object's "weight" on Earth.
The number is different in other places. Although the object's mass is the same on
other planets, the '9.8' number only applies on Earth.
What else can I help you with?
How does increasing the mass of your protective container affect the force of gravity on the container?
Increasing the mass of a protective container does not affect the force of gravity acting on it. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet or celestial body the container is on and the distance from the center of that body. The mass of an object does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
What force does the weight of a body represent?
The weight of a body represents the force exerted by gravity on that body. It is the downward force acting on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.
What measures the force of gravity of your body?
Your body's weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on it. Weight is determined by your mass and the acceleration due to gravity at your location. The force of gravity is what causes objects to have weight and fall to the ground.
What is the motion of body when only the force of gravity is acting on it?
Free falling.
What is the given name for the force of gravity acting on you?
It is your weight, which manifests as a downward force exerted by your body, although it is also an acceleration to a greater force if you fall.
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 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 mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 1033 Newtons?
If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms
In which condition a body with fixed mass can have zero weight?
A body with fixed mass can have zero weight when it is in freefall or orbiting in space due to the absence of a gravitational force acting on it. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and when the force of gravity is balanced by the centripetal force of the body's motion, the body experiences weightlessness.
A feather is in freefall when the force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance is equal to the force of air resistance is less than the force of air resistance is the only force acting?
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.
What makes a body float?
A body floats when the buoyant force acting on it (upward force exerted by a fluid) is greater than the force of gravity acting on it. This typically occurs when the body is less dense than the fluid it is placed in.
What will be done if the acceleration of the body greater then gravitational energy?
If the acceleration of a body is greater than the acceleration due to gravity, the body will start moving upward against the force of gravity. It may continue to accelerate if the net force acting on the body is greater than the force of gravity.
