Why do people float in zero gravity?
Gravity is a force that pulls you down to the centre of a planet. If it was zero gravity you wouldn't be pulled down. Earth is the only planet that has gravity that's why you "float" in space. I hope this has helped.
Why is gravity important to a normal pen?
simply, a pen writes as the ink flows down through its nib. the force of gravity is the only thing (in general circumstances) that pulls the ink out. i.e. no gravity, no flow of ink and no writing!
Does gravity pull ONLY down?
No, it pulls in whatever direction the item with the gravitational force is away from the object being pulled. So basically, if there were an object(this object will be marked with a A) just floating and out of no where an object with gravity(Object with gravity being marked with B) appeared ABOVE A, object B would pull object A upward.
Why a pendulum is unable to reach the same height each time it swing?
Energy. At first, when it swings, it doesn't use all the energy you used to push it. Gradually it starts going lower and lower when it swings until it stops altogether. This is because it is slowly, gradually, using the energy until it runs out and gravity pushes it back down, because energy is the only thing that defies gravity. If the pendulum had used up all of the energy at once when you first pulled it back and swung, it wouldn't have defied gravity and it would've stopped once it got to where gravity had originally placed it.
What happens when a hollow plastic ball and a sollid metal ball is dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force?
When a hollow plastic ball and a solid metal ball is a dropped in a vacuum and gravity is the only force acting on the balls the balls will fall at the same rate. Being that this is a prediction answer may vary.
I had a blister-like thing on my foot only it's not a blister and when I pulled it out a gelatin-like solid came out what is it?
Exact same thing just happened to me, hence the research.
Can only solid objects exert forces?
Is gravity a solid? Physical collisions of solid objects is not the only way that forces can act on solid objects.

Why do thing float in air?
Only in zero gravity
What hold our solar system together?
Motion and mutual gravitational attraction.Another Perspective:Gravity is the only thing required, which is fortunate because it's the only thing there is.
What is the difference between magnetism and gravity?
-- Magnetism only affects certain materials. Gravity affects all materials. -- Magnetism can repel or attract. Gravity only attracts. -- There are two kinds of magnetic characteristics. Each end of a magnetized object has one of them. There is only one kind of gravitational characteristic. Every bit of mass has it.
Why does electrical wirings sag?
The simple answer is, "Gravity". Gravity pulls the wires down just as it pulls everything else down. The wires can only be pulled with a maximum tension, and all the while gravity is pulling down.
What is the only thing that can be a solid liquid or gas?
water
How did the earth's moon get there?
a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth
Why doesn't the earth's gravaty pull the moon into the earth?
Earth gravity is pulling the moon, that is why it orbits. The only reason the moon doesn't get pulled closer is because it is orbiting to fast to be pulled.
Explain the role gravity plays in the formation of the moon?
A planetoid about the size of Mars crashed into the early Earth likely pulled out a a Lagrange point by Jupiter's gravity. Then pulled into the Earth by both bodies gravity, in an off-center hit sending debris into space and leaving a small portion in space with the added Earth debris that was pulled together by gravity again into the moon. As it drags along its slow orbit it's slowly being pulled away at about an inch a year because the gravity of Earth isn't supporting it so well (for reasons I won't go into here.) Gravity can only be significantly felt between objects with a very large mass, like the Earth and Moon. Which is why you dont feel a gravitational attraction between you and your computer. The Moon formed when gravity pulled pieces of rock and debris together into one big rock.
