When you lift a box off the ground gravity opposes your lifting force true or false?

Well, it's true that the gravitational force acting on the box acts in the direction
opposite to the direction of your lifting force, but there's nothing malicious or
contrary about it. In fact, the gravitational force was there before you came on
the scene, and as you lined up your lift, it was you who decided to oppose it.

True or false In outer space there is no gravity?
false
Is this question true or false when there is less gravity there is less gas?
When there is less gravity, there is less gas is this true or false
Is lifting free weights is a form of isotonic exercise?
false
Lifting a piano into a truck is an example of doing work?
False
Is it true or false when a crumpled piece of paper falls to the ground more quickly than a flat piece of paper becauseof gravity?
False, the gravity on the sheet of paper is the same regardless of its shape. However the crumpled sheet has less air resistance than the flat sheet allowing it to fall faster.
When an object floats on water there is no gravity acting on it is that true or false?
False.
Lifting free weights is a form of isotonic exercise?
false
Lifting a piano into a truck is an example of doing negative work?
False
Gravity on the moon is twice bigger then gravity on earth?
False. Gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of Earth.
What is a false statement about hair?
One false statement about root-hairs is that they can sense gravity. It is a common misconception that gravity effects the direction of growth.
The horizontal speed of a projectile launched over flat ground will affect the time that the projectile will stay in the air is this true or false?
this is false. the horizontal speed of the object has absolutely nothing to do with how long it takes to fall. if you fire a bullet on level ground it will hit the ground at the same time an apple would if you drop it from the same distance above the ground at the same time. the force of gravity is the same on everything on earth.
Is this statement true or false when the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall?
No, that is false. "Free fall" means that the only force acting on an object is GRAVITY. Specifically, there may be no significant amount of air resistance. It's not quite possible for the only force acting on an object to be air resistance, since you can't really eliminate the effect of gravity. Though, if the object has the same density than the liquid or gas in which it is placed, the gravity may be cancelled for practical purposes.
