How does gravity affect an object in motion?

it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.

Can helium gas spread?

Yes, like most gasses it can spread within currents and mix in with other gases. It is lighter than air, so on earth it will rise above the heavier gases of nitrogen and oxygen that make up our atmosphere. It does appear in the earths atmosphere in trace quantities, but the majority will escape earths gravitation pull and dissipate into space.


What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
