Earth pulls down on you with a gravitational force that you call your weight. Do you pull up on Earth with the same amount of force? No, the contact force from the ground cancels the force by you on Earth. Earth exerts a much greater force on you than you exert on Earth. Yes, you pull up on Earth with the same force. ○ No, the contact force from the ground cancels the force of Earth on you.

Gravitational Forces (A) Gravitational, Electrical, Magnetic, and Nuclear Forces Math Connections Name: Date: Gravitational Forces Gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is always attractive and acts between all particles of matter. Law of Universal Gravitation This law states that any two objects with mass exert a gravitational force on each other. The force has the same magnitude on each object. The magnitude is directly proportional to the product of the objects' masses. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. тт, Where, = G(! d' F. = gravitational force between two objects G= gravitational constant = 6.673 × 10-11 N x m²/kg? m, and m, = masses of the two objects in kg d = distance between the two objects in m 1. Calculate the gravitational force between two 100 kg objects located 10 m from one another. F = 6.673×10"| (100)(100) 10? N (100)(200) 10² F = 6.673×10-" N 2.

A 25 kg man floats in space near a planet with a mass of 100 billion kg. The planet’s gravitational force pulls on the man with a force of 0.01 N. Roughly how far is the man from the planet?
A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 137.7 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared
newtons first law states that objects with more mass have stronger tendencies to maintain their original motion. Yet our centripetal force equation suggests that all masses will maintain a steady orbit provided that their tangenitial speed, v, is the correct match for their orbital radius, r. Provide a physical argument that explains why objects with larger inertias (masses) do not fly off. Is there something that counters this increase in inertia?
