The force of gravity will also depend on the distance between the cars. Choose a suitable distance, then replace the numbers in the formula for gravitational attraction.

Why is the force of gravity between you and earth is greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
The main reason is that Earth has more mass than several billion cars have.
What force causes riders to feel heavy and weightless on a roller coaster?
Um, well, since roller coasters are powered by gravity, I'd have to say it dictates just about every aspect of the design, such as length, speed, g-force, etc.
What is the force of two bumper cars collide?
Net Force .
What causes toy cars to move down ramps?
Gravity.
How do you explain force?
Force - A force is a push or pull that is acting upon an object. Forces result from interactions between two objects. Most interactions involve contact. If you hit the wall, the wall hits you back. The contact interaction between your hand and the wall results in a mutual push upon both objects. The wall becomes nicked (if hit hard enough) and your hand hurts. Bumper cars experience mutual forces acting between them due to contact during a collision. Some forces can act from a distance without actual contact between the two interacting objects. Gravity is one such force. On a free fall ride, there is a force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and your body even though the Earth and your body are not in contact

What is the force that pulls the cars downward on a roller coaster?
Gravity
What are some examples of externalities?
External forces are when a force is between something outside and inside the system. Air resistance, cars moving on the road, friction, and gravity are examples of external forces.
What are some examples of external forces?
There are gravitational forces from the Sun, Moon and other planets. The Sun also exerts a force by means of the solar wind (charges particles that emanate from the sun and interact with the magnetic field and the upper atmosphere.
Which force pushes a toy car forward?
Someone pushing it, gravity (on a slope), a clockwork mechanism (wind up cars), an electric motor (chemical energy).
What two forces for the most part move a roller coaster?
1). The force of a motor lifts the train of cars up the first hill. 2). The force of gravity drives it the rest of the way around the course.
What is the name given to the force of gravity acting on you?
It's gravity, pure and simple. That's the scientific term, or the physics or astrophysics term. Gravity is a force all matter has. That is, anything that has mass has gravity. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, the others being the electromagnetic force, and the strong interaction (strong force) and weak interaction (weak force). We continue to see a lot of questions about what gravity is and how it works, and we simply don't have a lot of "good" answers. Gravity is the force exerted by an object on any other object because of the mass of the objects. Each of us has gravity, but we don't notice it pulling us toward each other. Our cars, which have more mass than us, don't pull us toward them that we can feel. But all things with mass pull on all others. It's just that on the scale in which we experience things, we don't notice it. Hit the link below to the related question. You may be asking about the effect of gravity acting on you, and not the force. As explained above, the force is simply gravity. The effect is called weight. Weight is fully dependent on gravity (putting accelerated motion aside for the moment), so your weight will be different depending on where you are.
