Gravity 3D ??

At what distance does the Earth no longer pull on an object?

Details and Assumptions

  • Acceleration due to Gravity is 9.8 m s 2 9.8{ m }{ s }^{ -2}
None of these 9,000,000 km from the centre 900,000 km from the centre 90,000,000 km from centre

The answer is none of these because the Earth's gravity will always pull on an object, no matter how distant. The force acting on the object only gets smaller and smaller. The gravitational force of the earth acting on any object anywhere in the universe will never be 0.

There's no limit to the distance of gravity. There is gravitational force between every two specks of mass in the universe, no matter how far apart they are. It's possible to calculate the force of gravity between the lint in your pocket and a grain of sand on the beach on the farthest planet in orbit around the farthest star on the other side of the farthest known galaxy from us.Of course, the farther apart two masses are, the weaker the force of gravity is between them. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds standing on the Earth,and you back off away from the Earth out to the distance of, say, the Moon's orbit, then out there you only weigh 0.9 ounces, because the distance between you and the Earth has increased. But technically, it never ends. ........... for more you can like our page (Like>Share>Enjoy) LINK : http://on.fb.me/1p3sBya
