Gravity is not generated.

There are two main explanations of gravity, either general relativity, or an explanation which uses quantum mechanics.

According to general relativity, gravity alteres spacetime. This causes a spacetime curvature, which is responsible for the fact that masses atracct one another.

According to the other theory, it is the result of the exchanges of virtual gravitons.

Since gravitons have not been observed yet, most physicists accept general relativity as the explanation. Other theories exist, but not enough evidence has been gathered so far.

What are the three basic gravitational forces generated by cooling plates?

The three basic gravitational forces generated by cooling plates are: vertical gravity, horizontal gravity, and lateral gravity. Vertical gravity is the force of gravity acting downward, horizontal gravity is the force that pulls materials towards the cooling plate horizontally, and lateral gravity is the force exerted on materials moving along the surface of the plate.


What are the forces of flight?

The four forces that act on an airplane in Flight are Lift (upward generated by the wings), weight (Down generated by gravity, Thrust (forward generated by the engines), and drag (essentially backward generated by the resistance of the aircraft to the atmosphere).

How are Saturns rings regenerated?

They are not regenerated. The rings are generated by the gravity of the planet and the inertia of the object.


What force pulls an aircraft toward the ground acts against the force of lift in level flight?

Gravity is the force that pulls an aircraft towards the ground, acting against the force of lift generated by the wings in level flight. Gravity pulls the aircraft downward, while lift generated by the wings counteracts this force to keep the aircraft aloft.


How is gravity generated on the moon?

All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.


How is electricity made from the source gravity?

There is no clear meaning for 'source gravity' therefore I am assuming you are asking about 'electricity from gravity'. Electricity is generated by gravity through 'RC Gravity Engine' which is based on Newton's Law of Gravity, and you can find more details by searching 'thegreenushers' on any search engine. The Green Ushers is their campaign website recently launched.


Does gravity affects the amount of lift on an airplanes lift?

Yes, gravity plays a significant role in the amount of lift generated by an airplane. Lift is the force that counters the weight of the aircraft due to gravity. The amount of lift needed to overcome gravity is directly related to the weight of the airplane.


What is generated by the pressure caused by gravity inside a protostar?

Intense heat. If you are looking for the answer to a crossword puzzle it may just be "heat".


Where does Io get its heat from?

Io's heat is generated by tidal forces produced by the gravity of Jupiter and the other three Galilean moons.
