Is the gravitational constant a large or a small number State the reason for your answer?
As numbers go the gravitational constant is small. It is 6.67 multiplied by 10 raised to the negative 11th power.
When doing equations do you divide by the large or small number first?
large numbers
How do you express the result in large numbers?
Expressing the result of a very large number or even a very small number is what we call scientific notation.
Why the value of universal gravitational constant is usually unnoticeable?
Because of conditioning. I expect that you would soon notice it if the gravitational constant fell to zero and you were flung off into space! You do not notice atmospheric pressure for a similar reason.
Is a method of writing very large or very small number by using powers of 10 is?
Very large and very small numbers are expressed in scientific notation

What happens to to the frequency of a swing as its oscillation die from large amplitude to small?
As a swing's oscillation dies down from large amplitude to small, the frequency remains constant. The frequency of a pendulum swing is determined by its length and gravitational acceleration, so as long as these factors remain constant, the frequency will not change.
How does gravitational force compare between objects that have small masses and objects that have large masses?
It will be larger between the large objects. This force is equal to the universal gravitational constant times the two masses of the objects, all divided by the square of the distance apart the objects are.
What other planets have a gravitational pull?
Not only planets but everything with mass, no matter how large or small, has a gravitational effect.
How can the sun have a large gravitational force on the earth but a small force on you?
Earth has more mass.
When would the force of gravity between a planet and the sun be greater?
The gravitational force between two bodies is given by GmM/r2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.674 to 4 sf), m and M are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them. Therefore, the gravitational force would be greatest where the mass of the star and planet in question are large and the distance between them is small.
How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?
The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and distance apart. The Sun has a much larger mass than you, so it exerts a stronger gravitational force on Earth due to its greater mass. However, because you are much closer to Earth than to the Sun, the gravitational force between you and the Earth is stronger than the force between you and the Sun.
Why does space stations have no moons?
Space stations are too small and do not have gravitational pull to draw in something that large to orbit it.
How does the gravitational force between objects that have small masses compared to the gravitational force between large objects?
The force of gravity exerted by an object is directly proportional to the mass of an object: it exerts this force on other matter, while the gravity of other matter also exerts a force.The formula is: F= G * m1m2/r squared - G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 masses, and r the distance between them (their centers of mass)Where, however, one object is much more massive, the acceleration induced by the larger object (e.g. Earth) is negligibly different for small objects of different mass, so that while the force is greater on larger objects, the accelerations are the same.
How can the moon have a gravitational pull?
All objects, big and small, exert gravitational pull. The moon, being very large, produces a large enough pull to affect the nearby Earth. The Earth also has a gravitational pull which holds the moon in orbit around us and keeps everyone on the ground.
Why do yo you write extremely large and very small number in scientific rotation?
Scientific notation lets us express a large or a small number without having to write a lot of zeros before or after it. Many constants in physics, for example, are too cumbersome to write without scientific notation. It is easy to make mistakes (in the number of 0s) and you would not be able to enter them into your calculator. For example: Avogadro's constant: 6.022*1023 Planck's constant: 6.626*10-34 Joules second etc.
How does the sun have a large gravitational force on earth but a small gravitational force people?
Look at the formula for gravitational force. It depends on BOTH masses - as well as the distance. In this case, Earth has a large mass, people have a small mass.Also, people just "move along" with Earth - if the Sun pulls on Earth and on us, we accelerate TOGETHER towards the Sun.
