How does radius of planet affect weight?
The gravitational constant g depends on the mass of the planet and on the radius of the planet. Since the gravitational constant ge depends on the square of the distance from the center of the Earth, the weight of an object decreases with altitude.
What is the relation between weight and radius of Earth?
Thus more massive objects, of course, weigh more in the same location; the farther an object is from the Earth, the smaller is its weight. The weight of an object at the Earth’s South Pole is slightly more than its weight at the Equator because the polar radius of the Earth is slightly less than the equatorial radius.
How does Earth’s mass affect weight?
As your body grows, you will have more mass, which also means you will weigh more. That’s because when you’re on the earth, the amount of gravity that pulls on you stays the same. So when your mass changes, so does your weight!
How do you find weight with mass and radius?
The equation for the weight of an object at the Earth’s surface is given by this formula: Weight = (G (a constant) x mass of Earth x mass of object) / (radius of Earth)Β²
What planet would you weigh the most on?
Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with the most mass. Because of Jupiter’s mass, you would weigh more on that planet than on any other one in our Solar System. If you weighed 68 kg on Earth then you would weigh 160.7 kg on Jupiter, over twice your normal weight.
Is the mass and radius of the planet are doubled then acceleration due to gravity on its surface will become?
If the mass of the Earth were doubled and the radius of the earth were doubled, then the two changes would offset each other and the acceleration of gravity on its surface would still be approximately 10 m/s2.
Which of the following represents the relationship between mass and weight?
The weight of an object is related to its mass by the following formula: π = π π , where π is the weight of the object, π is the mass of the object, and π is the gravitational field strength at the position of the object.
Would your weight be greater if the Earth gained mass?
Originally Answered: what would happen with weight of object if mass of earth increased? Weight will Increase. The value of acceleration due to gravity(g) will increase due to increase in mass of earth. And thereby the weight will increase as weight is mass*g.
Is mass and weight different?
The mass is essentially “how much stuff” is in an object. Weight: There is a gravitational interaction between objects that have mass. If you consider an object interacting with the Earth, this force is called the weight. The unit for weight is the Newton (same as for any other force).
How do you calculate weight from mass on Earth?
Summary
- Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object’s mass and the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth.
- The formula for calculating weight is F = m Γ 9.8 m/s2, where F is the object’s weight in Newtons (N) and m is the object’s mass in kilograms.
What if a planet has the same radius but twice Earth’s mass?
Surface gravity is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of the radius. Double the mass for same radius means double the surface gravity. Originally Answered: A planet with earth’s radius but twice earth’s mass, would we weight more or less than we do on earth?
What if the Earth were twice as Big?
Part 7: What if Earth were twice as big? If Earth’s diameter were doubled to about 16,000 miles, the planet’s mass would increase eight times, and the force of gravity on the planet would be twice as strong.
What is the surface gravity if you double the Earth’s mass?
Surface gravity of a body in space is determined by it’s mass and the radius. If you double earths mass while maintaining the same density, the radius would increase by two thirds therefore the surface gravity would be 1.26 the present gravity, not double.
What happens to mass and weight on other planets?
Mass stays the same regardless of location and gravity. You would have the same mass on Mars or Jupiter as you do here on Earth. Your weight is different on other planets due to gravity.
