gravity=9.8m/s^2 (on the Earth's surface)
Earth's gravity acts downward toward the center of Earth. ... The combination of intitial forward velocity and downward vertical force of gravity cause of projectile to follow a curved path. Force. A push or a pull that acts on an object.
When the downward pull of gravity on an object is equal to the upward force of water (buoyancy), the object will float at a certain level in the water. This is known as the object being in equilibrium, where the forces are balanced and there is no net force acting on the object.
The result is friction.
The path that the object takes to either strike the ground or to orbit the body.
9.8 newtons, down
The pull of Earth's gravity gives all matter on Earth weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. This weight is the reason why objects fall towards the Earth and why all matter on Earth experiences a downward force.
The weight reading on a scale measures the downward force exerted by an object due to gravity. The scale registers the force required to support the object's mass against the pull of gravity, which is then displayed as the weight of the object.
The two forces acting on an object that is falling are gravity, which pulls the object downward towards the center of the Earth, and air resistance, which opposes the object's downward motion and slows its fall.
The downward force exerted on an object is caused by gravity (from the Earth). This force is called weight and can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (about 9.8).
The upward force on an object is a measure of the force exerted on it in the opposite direction to gravity. It is often called the normal force and counteracts the downward pull of gravity to keep the object from falling through a surface.
