Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

Triss [41]

Answer: 11760 N


Weight = Mass × Acceleration = Mass × Gravity

Mass = 1200kg

Gravity = 9.8 m/s^2  (the negative sign denotes direction)

Weight = 1200kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 11760 kg×m/s^2 = 11760 Newtons

IrinaVladis [17]
Density = mass / volume. Mass = 1587g. Volume = 4.5cm x 5.2cm x 6cm = 140.4 cubic-cm. Mass/volume = 1587/140.4 = 11.3 g/cm^3.
