What is the upward force that works against gravity?
Any upward force works against gravity,since they act in opposite directions.
What force of a water molecule works against evaporation but works for condensation?
This is a lower kinetic energy.
What is 1 force that buoyant works against?
the force of gravity

How muscle system helps body against gravity?
It works to keep us upright, against the pull of gravity by using postural muscles.
True or false does potential energy depends on height is gravitational potential energy?
It is true that an object has more potential energy as it is raised higher. ?As the object falls from a height, the force of gravity will convert the potential energy into kinetic energy. ?The further it falls, the more kinetic energy will be gained. ?Conversely, the higher an object is raised, the more potential energy it has.This follows the equation? work = force x distance that force movesTherefore, the higher an object is, the greater the distance that the force of gravity will move as it accelerates the object while it falls. ?As it approaches the ground, it will have lost all potential energy but it will have kinetic energy of the same amount.Important note: ?The discussion about all potential energy being converted to kinetic energy above ignores air resistance. ?In the real world, air applies a frictional force on a body and will have the effect of slowing the object. ?Therefore, some of the potential energy will actually be turned to heat rather than ?kinetic energy. ?Most school physics questions will also ignore resistance due to air and therefore the description above works perfectly well for almost every question that will be seen.

What works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What are the steps of how a dam works?
Generating electricity from a dam ,also known as hydroelectric energy, is one of the best ways to provide for renewable energy. The dam stores water in a reservoir thus water the water gains gravitational potential energy then by allowing the water to flow down the stored gravitational potential energy is transferred into kinetic energy. The flow of water causes turbines ,inside the dam, to rotate transforming the kinetic energy of water into electric energy.There are of course some losses such as work done against friction and energy lost in generators (check lenz's law). So it's basically from gravitational potential to kinetic to electric.
Is a light bulb an example of kinetic energy?
Only if you hold it up in the air and drop it. While you are holding it there is stored potential energy. As you drop it kinetic energy is expended as it accelerates due to gravity. There is an analogy that works since voltage is defined as a potential, you could say that when the bulb is turned on it expends this energy.
When a pitcher throws a baseball what force works against the balls horizontal motion?

Why is it easier to go down the slope than up the slope?
Gravity helps you move down the slope but works against you on the way up.
