In which direction is pressure exerted in a fluid at rest?
If its in a container, pressure is downward and outward due to gravity and confinement respectively. If its on a flat surface without confinement, the pressure is exerted downwards on the surface and the boundaries are held by a combination of adhesion and cohesion.
Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
Central force exerted by a celestial body?
Gravity.
How is earth affected by the force of gravity exerted by other objects?
The earth's mass and it's gravitational pull are stronger than the moon so that causes to pull the object down to the earth's center, therefore the gravity exerted by other objects are from the earth's mass.
What are the forces in net force?
Any time an object's velocity changes (the object "accelerates"), that is due to a net force. Here are some examples: * A car speeds up. The force is exerted by the tires, on the road. * A car slows down. The force is exerted by the tires, on the road, or by air resistance. * A car moves in a curve (its velocity changes too, since it changes direction). The force is exerted by the tires, on the road. * A planet moves around the Sun. The velocity changes all the time, since the direction changes. The force is exerted by gravity. * A falling object speeds up. The force is exerted by gravity.
The downward force exerted by an object?
The downward force exerted on an object is caused by gravity (from the Earth). This force is called weight and can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (about 9.8).
When a mass suspended from a spring is in its equilibrium position the upward force exerted by the spring is equal to the downward force exerted by gravity acting on the mass?
Yes true
What is the downward force of gravity?
The most usual downward force is the force of gravity; the weight of an object exerts force in a downward direction. There are also other forces which can be exerted in that direction. If you wanted to, you could fire a gun in a downward direction, in which case the explosive force of the gun is added to the force of gravity.
The relationship between the upward and downward forces exerted in liquids is given by the liquid's what?
A liquid's buoyancy is determined by its specific gravity (density).
What is a SpringForce Scale?
A spring force scale measures the downward pull on a spring exerted by a force, usually gravity acting on a weight.
What is the given name for the force of gravity acting on you?
It is your weight, which manifests as a downward force exerted by your body, although it is also an acceleration to a greater force if you fall.
In which direction is pressure exerted in a fluid at rest?
If its in a container, pressure is downward and outward due to gravity and confinement respectively. If its on a flat surface without confinement, the pressure is exerted downwards on the surface and the boundaries are held by a combination of adhesion and cohesion.
meaning of gravity?
Gravity is a force exerted by the 'spin' of the Earth.
What is a force that is exerted on an object?
Gravity.
Why does acceleration due to gravity always point vertical downward?
Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
What is the force exerted by gravity in measured in?
Newtons
Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
