What is the force that acts against gravity?

The force that acts against gravity is the buoyant force.


What is the force that acts against the force of buoyancy?

gravity


What force acts against capillary action as water moves through the ground?

Gravity


What force acts against other forces?

Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.


Against what other force does buoyancy act?

Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.


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

Gravity


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.


What does lift do to the airplane?

Lift acts against the force of gravity, pushing the aircraft up.


When is work said to be done against the force of gravity?

All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.


How could you determine buoyant force?

The bouyant force acts in an upward direction against gravity. It keeps things from sinking.


Is Gravity on the sun weak?

Yes, due to the rotational force and the heat the gravity is weak. The heat is so hot it acts almost as a force against gravity. So only some can come in.


What is the purpose of gravity filtration through paper?

because the water mass is 18 and the gravity force which acts on this is 9.8 per sec so the filtration process is occurr through paper or other reason is that the mass of water is less so the gravity force does not acts upon this .
