gravity
No, an object's mass remains the same regardless of the gravitational force acting on it. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant, while weight, which is the force of gravity acting on an object, can vary depending on the strength of the gravitational field.
The only force acting on an object in freefall is gravity. This force causes the object to accelerate downward towards the Earth.
Friction slows down the motion of an object when it is the only force acting on it. It opposes the object's movement, causing it to eventually come to a stop.
If gravity is the only force present, the total force acting on an object would be its weight, which is the force of gravity pulling it towards the center of mass of the larger body (like Earth). The weight is given by the formula: weight = mass x gravity.
The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Weight pulls down, buoyancy pushes up. If an object weighs 50 N and the buoyancy force is 40 N, only 10 N is required to lift the object out of the water
Gravity.
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object.
The buoyant force on an object depends only on the weight of the fluid displaced: Fb = Vd*ρf*g Vd may not be the volume of the object; for example: if the object is floating on the liquid surface. Also, there may be other forces acting on the object, such as its weight (Mo*g)
When only one force is acting on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of that force following Newton's second law (F=ma). The object will either speed up, slow down, or change direction depending on the direction and magnitude of the force.
Weight is not a force. Weight is a phenomenon associated with a mass in a gravimetric field. It's actually the acceleration of a mass acted on by gravity, which is a force. A 100-pound rock would weigh nothing in deep space. It would be weightless. But the rock weighs 100 pounds on earth because of (mostly) the mass of the earth and also (just a tiny bit) because of the mass of the rock.
Work is defined as the product of force and displacement. If an object is not in motion, there is no displacement, thus no work is done by the force acting on the object. Work is only done when a force causes an object to move through a distance in the direction of the force.
