Questions like these are tough sometimes unless worded perfectly but for the sake of this question, whenever a body gets closer to the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity increases. On the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s...if you were on top of mount Everest, it would be a little less! :o) I would say your answer is correct! :o)

Which of the following free body diagrams best represents the gravitational pull in the Sun-Earth system? (relative size of Earth, blue circle, and Sun, yellow circle, not drawn to scale). A B C There is no gravitational pull between Earth and the Sun. Briefly explain your answer to the previous question.

Since Moon is attracted to Earth, why doesn't it fall onto Earth? because it has large tangential velocity because there is another equal force on the Moon that balances gravity because centrifugal force balances gravity because centrifugal force more than balances gravity because it has too much inertia to fall towards Earth A. Ocean tides occur mainly because water always runs to the low spot water always runs to the side of the Earth away from the Moon B. water...

A The Earth exerts a gravitational pull of 2.0 ×1020 N on the Moon; the Sun exerts a gravitational pull of 4.3 ×1020 N on the Moon.What is the net force on the Moon when the angular separation between the Earth and the Sun is 90 as seen from the Moon? B : A gun on the shore (at sea level) fires a shot at a ship which is heading directly toward the gun at a speed of 40 km/h....

Task 2 (Gravitational Potential of the Earth) In good approximation, the earth can be regarded as a sphere of homogenous mass density with radius R and total mass M. The gravitational potential of a mass m which has a distance r to the center of the earth is given by GMm , r>R U(r) 2R where Eo and G are constants a) Calculate the force F(r) which acts on a mass m at the earth's surface Hint: The gradient of...

What happens to the motion of an object under the influence of a single constant force as you decrease the object’s mass? A) the magnitude of the acceleration would increase B) the magnitude of the velocity would increase but the acceleration would remain the same C) the magnitude of the acceleration would decrease D) the magnitude of the velocity involved would decrease but the acceleration would remain the same

1 What is the Earth's orbital speed as it orbits the Sun. Take the Earth/Sun distance to be 93 million miles (taking the Earth's orbit to be circular), the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 X 102 kg and the mass of the Sun to be 1.987 X 10*0 kg. Solve this problem using Newton's 2nd law directly 2. A 55.7 kg mass is lifted (at a constant velocity) from the ground to a vertical height of 1275 m....
