∙ 14y agoThey are equal. The weight and the earth both attract each other,
with a force of about 9.8 newtons (2.2 pounds).
Everything about the gravitational force between two masses is mutual.
Both of them participate in determining the strength of the force, and
they experience the result equally.
The strength of the force depends on the product of the two masses, and the
distance between the two masses. Then the force acts equally on both of them.
Is that cool or what !

∙ 14y agoThe attraction of Earth for 1 kg of weight is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the attraction of 1 kg of weight for Earth. This is in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Your weight is a force caused by gravity pulling you towards the center of the Earth. It is the result of the gravitational attraction between your body and the Earth.
The gravitational attraction of an apple on Earth is approximately 1 Newton, which is equivalent to the weight of the apple. This force is a result of the gravitational pull between the apple and Earth.
The attraction of the Earth for a kilogram of lead is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the attraction of kilogram of lead for the Earth, according to Newton's third law of motion. Both objects experience an equal gravitational force due to their masses.
The force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity is called weight. It is calculated using the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object is proportional to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
The force of gravity on an object is the attraction between the object and the Earth (or another celestial body), pulling the object toward the center of the Earth. The force acts both on the Earth and the object, but the Earth's much greater mass means its acceleration is negligible compared to the object's.
Your weight is a force caused by gravity pulling you towards the center of the Earth. It is the result of the gravitational attraction between your body and the Earth.
is called its weight.
Weight is greater on earth than in space due to gravity.
The gravitational attraction of an apple on Earth is approximately 1 Newton, which is equivalent to the weight of the apple. This force is a result of the gravitational pull between the apple and Earth.
Yes, if Earth gained mass, its gravity would increase, which would make your weight greater because you would experience a stronger gravitational force pulling you towards the center of the Earth.
The attraction of the Earth for a kilogram of lead is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the attraction of kilogram of lead for the Earth, according to Newton's third law of motion. Both objects experience an equal gravitational force due to their masses.
Any force greater than the weight of the object you're lifting will eventually take it as far away from Earth as you want it to be. But the force of attraction between the Earth and the object is never zero, no matter how far away it goes.
It would be greater.
It would be greater.
It would be greater.
No. Mass is the quantity of actual stuff of which an object is composed.The force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and the object'smass is called the object's "weight" on Earth.
The force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity is called weight. It is calculated using the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object is proportional to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
