What 2 forces act on a object in water?
gravity and displacement
What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
What causes an object to fall downward?
The mutual pair of equal forces between any two masses ... the result of gravity ... causes the Earth and any object on it to fall toward each other. The forces of gravity act along the line between the centers of the two objects, so an object attracted to the Earth will fall toward the center of the Earth. We call that direction "downward".
What two forces can act on an object without having to actually touch the object?
electricity, magnetism, gravity

What opposing forces act on an object falling freely through the atmosphere?
The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.

What forces act upon a meteor as it falls toward Earth?
Forces of gravity ( gravitational force) pulls the meteor to earth

What does the force caused by gravity pulling down on an object cause an object cause an object to have?
The forces of gravity in both directions between the Earth and an object on it are equal,and act in opposite directions. The force from the object toward the Earth is what wecall the object's "weight" on Earth. The other force is so universally ignored that it isalso almost universally misunderstood. It acts in the direction from the Earth towardthe object, it is quite literally the Earth's weight on the object, and it is exactly equalto the other one.
What two forces you act upon and use when you are standing on earth?
Gravity and atmospheric pressure.
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
What would happen to your mass if the force of gravity on earth suddenly grew stronger?
Nothing, an object's mass stays the same regardless of what gravitational forces act upon it, assuming the object stays in one piece.
What two forces act on an object at rest?
gravity and normal force (assuming presence of a gravitational field)
