What do you call it when there is two different force motion pull and gravity?
it is called Motion against gravity
What causes the restoring force in a pendulum?
Gravity, At any instant time the restoring force is the component of gravity acting parallel to the direction of the motion.
How does gravity relates to newtons 3 las of motion?
Newton's three laws of motion describe how forces affect motion. They have nothing to do with gravity, except that gravity is one of many possible causes of force.
What is the force that causes objects to move in circles?
The force that causes circular motion is called "centripetal force".
Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
What is the exertion of a force on an object called that produces motion in the direction of a force?
Work occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
What does gravity have to do with the motion of the planets?
The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.
What is the force that causes a resistance in motion called?
Inertia
Which force governs the motion of an apple falling from a tree?
It's called 'gravity'.
What is a force that resists motion?
A force that resists motion is inertia.
Anythiing that causes a change in the motion of an object?
That's called a "force".
Why does gravity control motion?
Gravity exerts a force on objects; forces change the motion of objects.
