gravity
The gravitational attraction of an apple on Earth is approximately 1 Newton, which is equivalent to the weight of the apple. This force is a result of the gravitational pull between the apple and Earth.
Earth pulls on the 1N apple with a force of 1N in the downward direction (towards the center of the Earth) due to gravity. At the same time, the apple also pulls on Earth with a force of 1N in the upward direction (away from the center of the Earth) according to Newton's third law of motion.
A measurement of force is represented in units such as newtons (N) or pounds-force (lbf). Force is a vector quantity that describes the interaction between two objects and the push or pull exerted by one object on another.
1 pound of force = 4.4484 newtons of force (rounded) 1 newton = 3.597 ounces of force (rounded)
The earth's pull on objects is the force of gravity.
I'm assuming that you want to know the Newton's Third Law force partner to a gravitational force on an object. In that case, the answer is... gravity! The Earth pulls on you (magnitude mg, direction down), and you pull on it (magnitude mg, direction up).
Newton concluded that some force was pulling the moon towards the Earth because of the moon's curved path around the Earth, which was not linear. He proposed that this force was gravity, acting as an attractive force between the two objects. This led to his law of universal gravitation, which describes how all objects with mass attract each other.
The force that tries to pull the rocket back to Earth is gravity. This force is responsible for the rocket's weight and acts in the direction toward the center of the Earth.
The force of gravity, specifically the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun, keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun. This gravitational force creates a balance between the Earth's motion and the pull of the Sun, causing the Earth to continuously orbit around the Sun in a stable path.
Gravitational pull is a force and is measured in Newtons, the unit of force.
The force that measures the pull of gravity on an object is called weight. Weight is a vector quantity with the SI unit of Newtons (N). It is calculated as the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).
The Earth exerts a greater gravitational force on objects on its surface compared to the Moon's gravitational pull. However, the Moon's gravitational pull can cause tides on Earth due to its closer proximity and interaction with the Earth's oceans.
