General Awareness - Test 5 - Question 11

When a spacecraft goes from earth to moon, how does the value of weight due to gravity vary?

Detailed Solution for General Awareness - Test 5 - Question 11
  1. On Earth: The gravitational pull is strongest because the spacecraft is close to Earth's center, and the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 m/s².

  2. As it moves away from Earth: The force of gravity decreases with distance, according to the inverse square law. This means the further the spacecraft moves away from Earth, the weaker the gravitational pull becomes. Weight decreases as gravity weakens.

  3. Midway between Earth and Moon: There is a point called the neutral point or Lagrange point where the gravitational forces of Earth and the Moon balance each other. At this point, the spacecraft would effectively feel weightless, as the gravitational pulls from both bodies cancel out.

  4. Approaching the Moon: As the spacecraft gets closer to the Moon, the gravitational pull of the Moon starts to increase, though it is weaker than Earth's gravity (about 1/6th of Earth's gravity). The weight of the spacecraft will slightly increase again, but it will still be much less than it was on Earth.

In summary, the weight due to gravity decreases as the spacecraft moves away from Earth, reaches a minimum near the neutral point, and then slightly increases as it approaches the Moon, but the overall weight remains much lower than on Earth.
