How can rockets overcome the earth's gravity?
Exactly the way you do it when you walk up stairs ... use your engines tocreate a force greater than your weight and opposite to the force of gravity.
How does the Moon's gravity impact the earth?
The moon's gravity creates high tides and low tides. The moon's gravity pulls the water up and down as it orbits the Earth.
Where on Planet Earth such that gravity fall up rather then fall down?
-- Wherever you are on earth, the force of gravity ... that is, your "weight" ... always pulls in the directiontoward the center of the earth. That's toward the ground between your feet.-- How do we know which way is "down" anyway ? We call "down" the direction in which your weightpulls, the direction in which a stone moves when you drop it. So by definition, whichever way gravitypulls, that's the direction you call "down".
If you're upside down in space will all the blood rush to your head?
No because there is no up or down in space.
How do austronauts overcome gravity when leaving earth?
By using rocket motors to apply an upward force to their ship that is greater than the downward force of gravity. Exactly what you do with your leg muscles when you want to propel your own mass up a flight of stairs against the force of gravity.
How can you float if gravity is pushing you down?
You (or anything) can only float if the force of gravity pulling down is exactly balanced by some other force pushing up. In a fluid there's a force called buoyancy pushing up on anything in the fluid, the strength of which is equal to the weight of fluid 'displaced' (the fluid that would be in that space if the thing weren't there). The cool thing is that buoyancy is actually generated BY gravity acting on all the other fluid and is always in the opposite direction to gravity (up).
How gravity affects firework rockets when it is its way up?
gravity pulls down a rocket
Why do things fall down instead of up?
Gravity.
Why when throw a stone up it comes down?
gravity.
Why object fall to the ground?
Gravity pulls them down. Newtons Law of Gravity: what goes up must come down. objects fall to the ground because of gravity
How does rocket shoots up while the gravity is strong?
By generating an upward force that's greater than the downward force of gravity. Exactly the same way you walk up stairs while the gravity is strong.
On earth does gravity push things down or up?
Please take a look around you, and do some experimenting. If you hold an object in your hand and let it go, will it normally fall up, or down? The answer is down. gravity pulls you down. THERYAGO.
What makes roller coasters speed up and down?
Gravity...
What is the Gravity in horse jumping?
You come up, you come down.
What forces are acting jumping up and down on trampoline?
a force witch is called up and down and also gravity
Can gravity slow down an object?
Yes, if the object is moving up, gravity will slow it down. For example, if you toss a tennis ball straight up, it will slow down until it finally stops, turns around and comes back down.
What pushes up if gravity pushes down?
Gravity pulls "down" and the opposite force is provided by whatever is beneath the object.
