There is no limit, and it never ends. The formula to calculate the gravitational force at any

distance has no limit in it. The force of the gravitational attraction between the earth and

another object can be calculated even if the other object is in another galaxy.

Of course, the farther apart two masses are, the smaller the gravitational force between

them is. So when you're far from the earth, there's probably something else nearby that

attracts you with a stronger gravitational force than the earth does.

But no matter how far away you are, and how weak it gets, the earth's gravitational force

never ends.

If you drop a rock what is the force acting on it?

Gravitaional force is the force pulling on it from the Earth.


When does a human lose gravity pull from the earth?

You never do. No matter where you are, there will always be a gravitaional pull from the earth on the human. When you move really, really far away, the force becomes infinitesimally small.


Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?

mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


At what height from the earth the weight of an object become half of the weight on earth?

The weight of an object becomes half at a height where the gravitational force is half of the force on Earth, about 3,578 km above Earth's surface. At this height, the object and Earth are attracted with equal and opposite force.


Does gravitaional force is equal to kinetic energy?

No, force and energy are not the same dimension to start with. Gravitational force on an object is equal to mass*(gravitational acceleration) {dimensions Mass*Length/Time²}Kinetic energy is (1/2)*mass*(velocity)² {dimensions Mass*Length²/Time²}. If you look at these, Force, multiplied by length has the same dimension as Energy. And in fact you have other forms of energy:Work is Force times distance;Potential energy = mass*(gravitational accel)*height = (Force due to gravity)*(height), height is a distance or length.


What two factors affect the amount of gravitaional force between two objects?

their mass' and the distance between them...


Is only earth only object that exerts force of gravity?

No, all objects in the Universe generate a pulling force on all other objects. The Moon, Sun, planets, asteroids, meteors and stars all have a gravitational field. All humans, animals, trees, planes and buildings possess a gravitaional force, relative in size to its mass.


Is there gravity in the center of the Earth?

Yes, there is gravity in the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire Earth, including its center.


Does height affect gravity?

Yes. Without going into the general theory of relativity, the further you are way from a mass, the less gravitational force is present. (law of inverse squares)
