What is gravitational force and how does it work?

All things with a large mass such as the Earth have a gravitational force. Earth's gravity pulls down objects about 9.801 meters/sec.


Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?

Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.


Does gravity pull objects down toward earth?

yes gravity pulls object toward the earth Here on Earth, the force of gravity does indeed pull objects down toward the Earth. But bear in mind that gravity is a universal force. On the planet Mars, for example, gravity pulls objects toward Mars. All objects in the universe have their own gravitational force, the strength of which depends upon how massive the object is. The sun is much heavier than the Earth, and the gravitational attraction of the sun is enormously greater than that of the Earth.


What happens to objects on earth when they are dropped?

When an object is released on earth (so it is free to fall), there are two forces that take hold. Gravity and Buoyancy. Gravity, of course, is what pulls matter to matter, and pulls us, and everything else towards the ground here on earth. Buoyancy is what makes things float. If the Buoyancy forces is stronger then the force of gravity, then the object will float away, at least until the buoyancy force levels out with the gravity force. Examples of buoyancy overpowering gravity is like a helium balloon floating away, or a boat floating on the water (gravity pulls the boat down, but the buoyancy over the water allows it to float).


Name three things gravity pulls down from earth?

The earth has gravity that pulls things to itself. The earth pulls human beings, the air we breathe, water, animals, trees, etc., to itself by its gravity.
