The gravitational force exerted on an object, according to classical mechanics, is the product of the gravitational constant, the object's mass, and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force divided by the square of the magnitude of the position vector starting from the object exerting the gravitational force and pointing to the object which we are measuring the force exerted onto. And all of this is times the negative of that same position vector.
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
No, the gravitational constant on the Moon is not the same as on Earth. The gravitational constant depends on the mass and radius of the celestial body. The Moon has a lower mass and radius compared to Earth, resulting in a weaker gravitational constant on the Moon.
The mass of an object remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.
No, the gravitational force of Earth and the Moon is not the same. Earth's gravitational force is stronger due to its larger mass. The gravitational force of the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravitational force of Earth.
There is no evidence to suggest that the gravitational constant 'G' is not the exact same number everywhere in the universe.
no, because gravitational force depents on the object's weight.
The weight of a freely falling body remains constant as it falls, regardless of the increase in speed due to gravity. This is because weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, and this force is constant near the surface of the Earth.
No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.
No, gravitational potential energy and gravitational force are not the same. Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, while gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects due to their masses. Potential energy depends on the position of an object, while force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
The force of gravity remains constant no matter where you are on Earth.
It is the measure of the gravitational force experienced between any two bodies, anywhere in the universe. So, the same number is used to calculate the gravitational attraction between bodies anywhere in the universe. There are, however, some questions as to whether is is (or was) a constant over time.
