The gravitational forces between two objects act in both directions along the line
between their centers of mass.
In our daily experience, where one of the objects is always the Earth, we call one
of those directions "down" and, as relates to the forces of gravity, we ignore the
other direction completely.

The force of gravity is responsible for changing the what in which a satellite moves?
The force of gravity will change the satellites direction, and therefore its velocity.
Would there be gravity on a space ship in open space moving at high speeds and if so in what direction would it move?
No only when in earth's atmoshpere can the gravity be on.
Which direction is gravity pointing?
The forces due to gravity act along the line between the centers of two masses. That means that the Earth is attracted toward your center of mass, and you are attracted toward the center of the Earth, both with equal force. We typically refer to that direction as "down".
Where on Planet Earth such that gravity fall up rather then fall down?
-- Wherever you are on earth, the force of gravity ... that is, your "weight" ... always pulls in the directiontoward the center of the earth. That's toward the ground between your feet.-- How do we know which way is "down" anyway ? We call "down" the direction in which your weightpulls, the direction in which a stone moves when you drop it. So by definition, whichever way gravitypulls, that's the direction you call "down".
What kind of force is it when rockets escape from gravity?
If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.

What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
What direction does the force of gravity apply to the rollercoaster car?
From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.
What is the direction of average acceleration?
The direction of average acceleration is downwards, in the direction of gravity. This is because gravity affects all objects, even objects that are moving in other directions.
How many direction does force of gravity has?
Exactly one direction . . . between the centers of the two masses that are being drawn together by gravity.
How does gravitropism effect plants?
Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity
What forces act on block and in which direction?
by gravity
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
The Earth's gravity pulls the Moon towards it and its center.
Is gravity on the top or bottom?
Gravity works between any two objects, no matter in what direction they are.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
What is the direction of the force of gravity?
The force of gravity acts towards the center of mass of the object in question.
What is equal to -9.8 if up is the positive direction?
gravity
Why does electric current flow in a single direction?
Gravity
