The simple answer is yes, but don't forget the water has a "force" pushing you up. If you want the truth, gravity isn't a force.

Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?

No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.


Is there any difference in the strength of the force of gravity on land compared to in water?

The force of gravity on the same on land and water.However, in water, there is an upward force of buoyancy which acts in an opposite direction to the force of gravity. Hence, in water, the total net force downward is lower.


Is there any distance at which the gravitational force between two electrons is greater than the electric force between them?

No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.


How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?

If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.


What force acts against the gravitational force that is in the upward direction?

In physics, there is a force that is called the normal force. This is the force that comes from a surface pushing up on an object. If the surface is level, the normal force is the exact same magnitude as the gravitational force, but straight up. The normal force is always perpendicular to a surface. Hope this helps!

no, because gravitational force depents on the object's weight.

How do you use gravitational force in a sentence?

Gravitational force is caused by acceleration due to gravity and an objects mass. Gravitational force is the same as an object's weight. Gravitational force is something scientists try to measure. Physics is an area of science where people study gravitational force. Gravitational force is important in terms of the way planets orbit the sun in our solar system.


When gravitational force changes. changes to the same degree?

What is an gravitational force exerted on an object?

The gravitational force exerted on an object, according to classical mechanics, is the product of the gravitational constant, the object's mass, and the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force divided by the square of the magnitude of the position vector starting from the object exerting the gravitational force and pointing to the object which we are measuring the force exerted onto. And all of this is times the negative of that same position vector.
