When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
How do you reduce gravity on an object?
The only way to do that is to physically take it away from the Earth. As long as the object remains on the Earth, you can apply additional forces to it, to combine in various ways with the force of gravity and make the object move as you want it to, but there's nothing you can do to change the force of gravity on it.
How do you accelerate an object in a vacuum?
Apply a force (rockets, recoil, gravity, etc.)
Is force needed to pick up an object?
When you pick things up, you apply lift. This is as opposed to something like levers, which still lifts something, but usually involves you applying downward force.
What is an example for a force causing an object to start moving?
The force you apply to the mouse button to make it click is.
Is energy the capacity to apply a push or pull to an object?

If you put a force of 10 n on an object and the object has the mass of 5 kg what will the acceleration of that object be?
If operating in free space, the speed of the object will be constant. If not operating in free space, but under the effects of gravity, then apply gravitational formulas to find the answer.
How can you explore space if gravity attracts objects toward earth?
The same way you walk up a flight of stairs while gravity attracts you toward earth ... you apply an upward force to the object that's greater than the downward force of gravity. When you do that, the net force on the object is upward, and it accelerates away from the earth.
How do you produce the motion of an object?
You apply a force to the object.You apply a force to the object.You apply a force to the object.You apply a force to the object.
Dimensional formula for gravity g?
gravitational potential means apply force on a object of mass m and opposite to the gravitational force and take the object to one point to another point. gravatiotanal potential = L-1
How do you build a zero gravity chamber for a science project?
There is no currently known technology for a zero gravity project on earth. No substance or material will "insulate" an object on earth from gravity. It (gravity) will always be present pulling down on everything here. It "reaches through" all known materials to anything above them. The best that can be hoped for is to figure out a way to use magnetics or something else to "levitate" an object against the force of gravity. A fan and moving air would supply upward force to offset the effects of gravity, and we see that in the so-called skydiving wind tunnel. There may be some other ways to apply a force on an object that will counter gravity, and the curious investigator will look for any as he considers what is suggested here.
What is the point at which all the weight of an object seems to act?
An objects weight is evenly distributed around its center of gravity or center of mass. Imagine you attach a string to some random point on an object and then let the object hang while holding onto the string. It happens that the center of gravity of the object will always be directly below the point where the string is attached to the object. In fact, this is a good method by which to manually determine the center of gravity of an object. Another way to think about it is this. If you were to apply a force to an object at some random point, in general, not only would the force cause the object to accelerate but the force would also tend to cause the object to rotate. However if you apply the force at the object's center of mass, the object would not tend to rotate in any way, it would only accelerate in the direction of the force.
