What else can I help you with?
Why do you float on water even though gravity is pulling you down?
This occurs due to the upthrust of water. Water exerts an upward force on the body. It is also called buoyancy.
How do people live though earth is round?
Because of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls everything towards the center of the Earth. This force keeps people on the ground even though the Earth is round. Hope this helps!
What is the action and reaction when earth gravity pulls down on a book?
The action is the Earth's gravity pulling down on the book. The reaction is the book exerting an equal and opposite force upwards on the Earth, though it is so small that it is essentially negligible.
What is the relationship mass and the force of gravity?
The force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth. This relationship is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Why do people feel warm after swimming even though the temperature of the sea is lower than that of the air?
because they have just exercised.
What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun's suface by gravity?
The energy of their rotation round their orbits acts against the central force of gravity, in the same way as a ball on a string can be whirled round even though the tension in the string is pulling the ball towards the centre all the time.
Which is the slowest of the four swimming strokes?
The second fastest swimming stroke is Butterfly.
How does gravity affect skating?
Air resistance slows you down which is why ski racers wear tight suits to minimize air resistance.
If gravity is always an attractive force between two objects why does a helium balloon fall up?
This is a really good question! Helium balloons 'fall' up because helium is lighter than air. In other words, even though gravity is pulling the balloon down, the helium is so light the balloon rises.
As water moves down though the ground what force is acting against it?
The force of gravity is acting against the downward movement of water through the ground. This force is responsible for pulling the water downwards towards the Earth's center.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
Does gravity stop you from jumping?
Gravity works equally on every particle in a "standard" object which is why all objects fall at the same rate. Yes, you can exert an upward force greater than 1G when jumping, but even during the jump, gravity is already working on decelerating your upward speed and pulling you back down.
