Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.

Anything that has mass also has gravity. Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is.

Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That's what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.

Gravity is also what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. And the reason you always land back on your feet is because of gravity too!

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

gravity can change the motion of an object because of magic


Motion that is under the influence of gravity alone is called?

Free fall is the term in Newtonian physics used to describe the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone. Such an object moves along a geodesic. One example of an object always in free fall is Earth's moon.


Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?

No, objects under the influence of gravity have a mass.


How does egg drop project apply to newtons 3rd law?

the second law of motion states the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. acceleration= force/mass


What Is the motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity.?

downward motion


What is friction due to?

The motion of gravity pressing on the object!


What must happen for an object to be in motion?

Gravity I guess :-)


Is the force of gravity on an object at rest in free fall and the same object horizontally?

Yes. The force of gravity is the same, 9.8m/s2, whether an object is at rest, in vertical motion, or horizontal motion, because the force of gravity is due to the mass of the earth and not to the motion of any object. The force of gravity does decrease slightly with altitude, as distance from the center of the earth increases.


One of the major forces that influence planetary motion?

Gravity.


How center of gravity determines whether the objects is at rest or in motion.?

The centre of gravity does not, by itself, determine whether an object is at rest or in motion. The location of the centre of gravity, relative to where the object is supported, can contribute one of many forces that can act on the object. And it is is the [vector] sum of these forces which determines whether the object remains at rest or in uniform motion.


How does gravity friction and mass affect the motion of an object?

Sin no


Is gravity the motion of an object spinning on its axis?

No, that is quite unrelated.
