gravity
This is weight.
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
The object floats in the water.
The result is friction.
The path that the object takes to either strike the ground or to orbit the body.
The upward support force is as much as the downward pull of gravity.
The upward support force is as much as the downward pull of gravity.
The upward support force is as much as the downward pull of gravity.
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.
The strength of the force in each direction between the earth and any mass is called the "weight" of the mass. The force is equal in both directions, which means that the weight of the mass on earth is the same as the earth's weight on the mass. The force acts along the line between the center of the earth and the center of the mass. The direction toward the center of the earth is customarily referred to as the 'down' direction, and toward the center of the mass as the 'up' direction.
