Which of the objects exerts a gravitational force on you?
Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational pull, or force, on every other mass. The size of the pull depends on the masses of the objects. You exert a gravitational force on the people around you, but that force isn’t very strong, since people aren’t very massive.
Does the sun or Earth exert a greater gravitational force on the moon?
Based on its mass, the sun’s gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon.
Does the sun have a greater gravitational force than Jupiter?
The gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter is 12 times greater than the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth. Earth may be closer to the Sun than Jupiter, but Jupiter’s mass more than makes up for it’s severe distance.
What is the gravitational force that the moon exerts on the Earth?
Earth’s average surface gravity is about 9.8 meters per second per second. When an object is tossed off a building top or a cliff apex, for instance, it accelerates toward the ground at 9.8 meters per second per second. The Moon’s surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.
Which of the following objects can produce a gravitational force on another object?
| Mass of Object 1 (kg) | Force of Gravity (N) | |
|---|---|---|
| d. | Physics Student 70 kg | See Answer Fgrav = 3.27 • 10-7 N |
| e. | Physics Student 70 kg | See Answer Fgrav = 8.17 • 10-6 N |
| f. | Physics Student 70 kg | See Answer Fgrav = 4.67 • 10-9 N |
| g. | Physics Student 70 kg | See Answer N |
Which object exerts the stronger gravitational force on the other Earth or the moon or are the forces equal in magnitude?
| Mass of Object 1 (kg) | Mass of Object 2 (kg) | |
|---|---|---|
| b. | Ballerina 40 kg | Earth 5.98 x1024 kg |
| c. | Physics Student 70 kg | Earth 5.98 x1024 kg |
| d. | Physics Student 70 kg | Physics Student 70 kg |
| e. | Physics Student 70 kg | Physics Student 70 kg |
What causes gravitational force on Earth?
Earth’s gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That’s what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.
What is Jupiter’s gravitational force?
24.79 m/s²
Jupiter/Gravity
As a result, Jupiter’s surface gravity (which is defined as the force of gravity at its cloud tops), is 24.79 m/s, or 2.528 g.
What is the gravitational force of the Sun?
274 m/s²
Sun/Gravity
How does the force the Earth exerts on the moon compared to the force the moon exerts on the Earth?
(b) Yes, the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth would double also (according to Newton’s Third Law). Since the Earth has more mass than the Moon, the Earth will exert a larger gravitational force on the rocket than the Moon would (things weigh less on the Moon).
Is the size of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the moon smaller than larger than or the same size as the force the moon exerts on Earth?
The force the Earth exerts on the moon is exactly the same as the force the moon exerts of the Earth. Earth and the moon are gravitationally attracted to each other.
What is the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on objects?
The weight of an object on or above the earth is the gravitational force that the earth exerts on the object. The weight always points toward the center of mass of the earth.
How do you find the gravitational acceleration between two objects?
The gravitational acceleration, gdepends on the distance, r, between the object and the earth’s center of mass. Equation (1) can be generalized for the gravitational force between two objects with masses mand M, for which M in eqn. (1) is replaced by M andthe distance r represents the distance between the centers of mass of the two objects.
Does gravitational force always attract the object?
In other words, gravitational force always attracts the object towards the body producing the field. Note that gravitational force is a kind of interaction forces. So both the object and the body involved experience the same magnitude of attractive force from each other.
What is the gravitational field at a point?
The gravitational field, g, at a point is the gravitation force an object experiences when placed at that point divided by the object’s mass. where g is in units of m/s2 and r is the distance the point is from the center of mass of the earth.
