whats the relationship between the mass of an object and its distance from the center of the earth?

Answer 1

An object has the same mass on the surface of the earth, in space, on the moon, or anywhere. Mass doesn't change.

Weight is the force caused by gravity acting on the mass, and varies with inverse square of the distance from the center of the earth, as long as you're above the surface.

Answer 2

F = Gm(earth)m(object)/r^2

As the distance from the center from the earth increases, the force between them decreases. The mass however, is not affected because an object has the same mass everwhere.

Answer 3

The *weight* of an object increases roughly in proportion to its distance from the center of the earth R if it is below the surface (uniform earth density approximation), and falls off as 1/R^2 above the surface.

Answer 4

while the object is interior the earth mass then it is going to purely experience gravitation from the sector of the earth this is at a radius smaller than its region the reason of that's the gravity from the outer element of the earth cancels itself out because of the fact there is equivalent quantities from one direction because of the fact the different.. the reason being complicated even though it consists of taking the earth as a chain of spheres and that each and every region interior the earth could have equivalent quantities of gravity from one direction as yet another so they are going to all cancel..

Answer 5

None.Weight is the factor for gravitational pull, not mass. Mass has no relation.
