all objects near the earths surface-regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them. is it true or f
1 answer:
False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass
Explanation:
The answer is false.
The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:
where:
m is the mass of the object
is the acceleration of gravity
We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.
The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant () if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as
F = Force
At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as
Where
m = Mass
Change in velocity
Our values are given as
By equating the two equations we can find the Force,
Therefore, the net average force will be:
The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.
