How is the force of gravity different from the force you apply when you push or pull something?

One difference is that gravity acts at a distance - the objects need not touch. Another difference is that every object attracts every other object. The force depends on the masses and on the distance.

∙ 9y agoAs Hilmar Zonneveld mentions, gravitational force is related to mass and separation distance. Pushing and pulling forces, collisions, etc, are fundamentally electromagnetic in nature and depend on charge and distance. The molecules which form objects are strongly linked together by EM forces and when placed close to other chains of molecules in other objects, they interact via repulsive forces (EM forces), pushing the two objects apart. Pulling involves EM forces which keep objects together. The EM bonding forces are what determine the strengths of materials. Imagine trying to pull a car out of a ditch with a thin piece of cotton fiber. Or push a button with a drop of water without the water squishing away. EM forces are much stronger, in general, than gravitational. That's why chairs and tables can keep things from falling to the floor.

How is the force of gravity different from theforce when push or pull?
how is the force of gravity diffrerent from the force you apply when you push or pull something
How do you go against gravity?
You stand up. Or you apply some other force that counteracts gravity.
Is gravity a field force?
lol no gravity is not a force field since force fields kinda protects you from something, gravity is more like something with more mass attracting some other thing with less mass
What is it when there is no net force of gravity?
When there is no net force of gravity, all the opposing forces of gravity cancel out. For example, most of the way to the moon, the gravity pulling from the moon would cancel out the gravity from the Earth. At that point, there would be no net force of gravity. KEEP IN MIND, that this is something very different from the weightless feeling you get when falling. When falling, gravity still affects you (hence you accelerate downwards). If there is no net force of gravity, gravity will not affect you at all.
Is force needed to pick up an object?
When you pick things up, you apply lift. This is as opposed to something like levers, which still lifts something, but usually involves you applying downward force.

When you apply force to something there is pushing back on you?
gravity
How is the force you apply by pushing on a rock different from the force of gravity on the rock?
Pushing requires energy
What direction does the force of gravity apply to the rollercoaster car?
From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.

What does your hands apply when you throw a ball?
i think it's a force of gravity
How is the strong force different from gravity and electromagnetism?
The force of "strong force" increases with distance, unlike gravity and electromagnetism which do the opposite.
How does action reaction force apply to dance?
Because it scientificallty proves that the force of gravity will knock you over
