Does a gryoscope put pressure at the point of contact?

Anything that touches something else puts pressure on the point of contact. In some cases, such as tapping a finger on paper or a gyroscope spinning on a flat surface, that pressure is light enough to be negligible.


How are dwarf planets similar to the eight planets?

The thing they have in common is the "hydrostatic equilibrium". What this means is that the planet or dwarf planet is large enough, and massive enough, to have a round shape due to its own gravity - a sphere, or in the case of a rapidly spinning object, an ellipsoid.


Why do cranes not fall forwards when lifting heavy weights?

It's because torque caused by gravity creates rotation around of the base of the crane. And the torque created by the counter mass is opposite in direction but not large enough to compensate torque caused by gravity.


How does a ball defies gravity?

It doesn't, it's just strong enough to counter it by the thrust generated by the expanding gasses. It's a lot like the way your leg muscles defy gravity when you walk up some stairs.


1 through 7 ebula shrinks to form a spinning disk?

A spinning disk is formed by the nebula shrinking is 4. The planets forming is 7. The planets form gas and dust accumulate as a nebula matter separates into galaxies. Nebula shrink to form a spinning disk,gravity pulls gases to the center of the disk .Gas at the center of the disk becomes hot and dense enough for nuclear fusion to begin


Is there enough gravity on the moon for people to breathe?

Breathing is not dependent on gravity or the lack thereof.


How fighter jets can maintain lift when they do 90 degrees bank turn?

It's simple: they don't. If a fighter jet (or any other plane for that matter) banks to 90 degrees the plane will fall with the acceleration of gravity at that altitude. However, an observer on the ground may not perceive any elevation drop. In the case of a fighter jet, the pilot may yaw the nose of the plane upward creating a vertical component of thrust from his (or her) engines that will counter the force of gravity to some degree. Also, the bank angle may not be exactly 90 degrees, thereby achieving a small upward component of lift from the wings as well. These combined forces may or may not be enough to overcome gravity. Some people may argue that the centrifugal force of the banked turn will keep the jet at the same altitude. These individuals may use the example of carnival rides that, while spinning, hold you against a wall "in defiance of gravity". This is merely a principle of friction against a rigid object (the inner wall of the spinning cylinder). The centrifugal force generates enough friction against this wall that the friction overcomes gravity, not the centrifugal force. Air is obviously not rigid, so an airplane cannot generate friction enough due to centrifugal force to overcome gravity. In essence, the plane must have a component or combination of components of forces exactly opposing gravity in order to maintain a fixed altitude.


Why does the moon have gravity but no air?

The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth. It is not enough to hold onto an atmosphere.


Is the moon weightless?

The moon is weightless, because the centrifical force of its rotation is counter acting on gravity. If both forces are exactly the same, they cancel out each other. The moon would have weight if it was close enough to fall, but otherwise no.


Which planet does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?

Nercury


Could you fly off of a planet because there is no gravity?

No. All planets have gravity. Any object massive enough to be considered a planet would have strong enough gravity that you could simply escape by jumping. It is, however, possible for an object to escape the gravity of any planet if it is launched in the right way and with enough speed.


Do rocks have gravity?

Yes. everything with mass has gravity. Something the size of an everyday rock, though, does not have enough mass for its gravity to be noticeable.
