When you don't have gravitational interaction between objects.
Because there is no range limit on the gravitational force, the gravitational force of the earth is only zero in the exact centre of the earth, where it cancels itself out. Realistically, the force is so small outside the immediate vicinity of earth, that it may as well be zero.
The force of gravitational attraction between two masses is never zero. There is a force of gravitational attraction between a hair on your head and the smallest moon in the farthest galaxy. The force may be too small to measure, but it's never zero.
The gravitational force inside a solid sphere is zero because the gravitational forces from the parts of the sphere above cancel out the forces from the parts below, resulting in a net force of zero at any point inside the sphere. This is known as the shell theorem.
-- The size (strength, magnitude) of gravitational force can be anything more than zero. -- The direction of gravitational force is always in both directions between the centers of two masses, attracting them toward each other. -- The distance of gravitational force can be anything more than zero. There is no limit, and the force between two masses is never zero, no matter how far apart they are.
An orbiting astronaut experiences a gravitational force that keeps them moving in a curved path around a celestial body, such as a planet or moon. This force is what causes the astronaut to stay in orbit. It is not that there is zero gravitational force, but rather that the force is balanced with the astronaut's velocity so they remain in a stable orbit.
Gravitation can't be cancelled or shielded. You can have the appearance of zero gravitational force when you are in free fall. Without going into outer space, this can be maintained for a few seconds at most.
In deep space where the gravitational force is zero, you would be essentially weightless. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, so in the absence of gravity, there would be no force acting on you to give you weight.
When the direction of the vector is vertical. Gravitational force has zero horizontal component.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every point mass in the universe attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. The formula for this gravitational force (F) is given by: � = � ⋅ � 1 ⋅ � 2 � 2 F= r 2 G⋅m 1 ⋅m 2 where: � F is the gravitational force, � G is the gravitational constant, � 1 m 1 and � 2 m 2 are the masses of the two objects, � r is the distance between the centers of the masses. In this formula, if the masses ( � 1 m 1 and � 2 m 2 ) are zero, the gravitational force would be zero. However, this is a theoretical scenario as masses are fundamental to the concept of gravity.
No. The gravitational force of the earth can be effectively cancelled out by some object, such as the moon, which pulls in the opposite direction, but it does not go to zero just because of the distance at any point.
The gravitational field inside a hollow sphere is zero. This is because the gravitational force from the spherical shell cancels out in all directions, resulting in no net gravitational force at the center or within the sphere.
No. Gravitational force is directed DOWNward. The weight of the displaced fluid is another force, directed UPward. If they happen to be equal, then the net force on the object is zero and it floats. But they don't have to be equal.
