What word descibes when water soaks into the ground?
It is called percolation of water. The water molecules enter the soil and move downward by gravitational force. This is how the ground water table is recharged with water.
Does atmospheric pressure increase or decrease under sea level?
It increases. The lower you go, the more mass there is in the column of air (or water) above you. The earth's gravitational attraction pulls that column downward. In a fluid, the pressure is equal in all directions.
Isostacy is the balance between what two forces?
Gravity and buoyancyWhat two forces are balanced when a system is in isostasy?Downward gravity and upward buoyancy
What is the process that describes downward sliding of the rock material?
the process that describes downward sliding of the rock material is Slump
A downward fold in a rock is called?
syncline
What is the downward force?
Gravitational Force.
Why does water trickle downward?
It is drawn downwards by the gravitational attraction of the earth.
When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?
If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.
What is the function of inclination joints?
An inclination joint is found inside of a microscope. This joint is what allows the upper part of it to tilt so you can see through it while sitting or standing.
Water that trickles or percolates into the ground and continues to move downward is referred to as what?
Gravitational Water
How strong is gravity on eath?
The force of Earth's gravitational strength is an average 9.8N/kg downward. (newtons/kilogram)
What happens to the gravitational energy of an object as it gets higher in a gravitational field?
-- If the velocity is horizontal, then gravitational potential energy doesn't change. -- If velocity is vertical and upward, gravitational potential energy increases at a rate proportional to the speed. -- If velocity is vertical and downward, gravitational potential energy decreases at a rate proportional to speed.
Are acting on the pen?
The Forces acting on the pen are first the downward force called gravitational force and the upward force is the tension force.
Is the electrical or gravitational force stronger?
Electrical force is stronger because it acts in all directions, whereas gravity is directed only downward.
How does the gravitational pull determines the body weight?
Weight is a measurement of the downward force experienced by a mass in a gravity field. The stronger the field the greater the weight.
When somthing drops what type of energy conversion is taking place?
When a object is dropped downward from rest, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Is gravitational force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?
No. Gravitational force is directed DOWNward. The weight of the displaced fluid is another force, directed UPward. If they happen to be equal, then the net force on the object is zero and it floats. But they don't have to be equal.
