... t2/t1 = ([1-2GM/(r2c2)]/[1-2GM/(r1c2)])1/2 All clocks run slower in a strong gravitational field than they do in a weaker field. The clock at r1 will run slower than that at r2 (r2 is the position further from the source of gravity and thus experiencing a weaker gravitational effect). Gravitational ...

A 90kg astronaut weighs 1/6 as much on the moon as on Earth because: a) the moon is made of denser rock than the Earth b) the astronaut is closer to the center of the mass when standing on the moon’s surface c) the mass of the Earth also pulls on the astronaut d) the mass of the moon is substanti ...
