does gravity influence mass?

Solutions

Expert Solution

1) yes, the gravity does influence weight. as the garvity changes the weight of the object changes respectively. The strength of gravity is indirectly proportional to the distance of the centre of the mass to the gravity. Taking and example lets try to understand the concept.

2) No, gravity does not influence mass. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter present in the object which signifies its weight.weight however on the other hand is determined by the gravity. Gravity infleunces all objects irrespective of their masses.

a. Consider a (spherical) pebble of radius 1 cm falling under the influence of gravity. Assume it experiences a quadratic drag force (i.e., proportional to the velocity squared). Assume the constant of proportionality for the drag force is the product of a constant κQ and a geometric factor is the square of the radius. Assume the density of stone is 2500 kg/m3 and that κQ = 0.87 kg/m3 . Estimate the terminal velocity of the pebble (vT ). b. Consider...

A box of mass M sits on the floor of an elevator at rest. Gravity (which has a strength set by the local acceleration due to gravity g) pulls the box and the floor pushes the box. The net or total force on the box is zero. What is the force on the box from the floor? Give both the magnitude and the direction. Now imagine that the elevator is accelerating upwards at acceleration a. Now the two forces on...
