yes, everything exerts a force on each other, no matter how small or big the force is, there is still a force.

What types of objects experience gravitational forces?

All objects on Earth experience gravitational force to a certain degree. Earth's atmosphere grants it's objects a great gravitational force.+++"All objects throughout the Universe experience gravitational force... " Not just on Earth. The Earth's orbit around the Sun is a function of the Earth's velocity and the Sun's gravity.The Earth's atmosphere does NOT "grant" any gravitational force of its objects (whatever those may be), but is itself subject to the gravity of the planet; hence both it still being here, and exerting a mean pressure of I Bar (by definition) or 100kPa at sea-level.


How can water move the boat?

if the water is moving then it will exert a force on the side of the boat. Still water will not move a boat.


In the force has a component in the opposite direction from the motion the work done is negative?

No the work done is still positive, the force exerted and the work done to exert that force is still the same. Its just that the other object is exerting more of a force on the object doing the work.


What is the force exerted by the object you are trying to move?

Its a reaction force, and is equal and opposite to your force, only it is acting on different objects, so the force is still unbalanced.


Why do objects accelerate during free fall?

Earth's gravity pulls all objects toward its center of mass, or in most cases toward the surface. Gravity is a property of matter,and causes every mass to exert a force on every other mass. In this case, the Earth's gravity applies a force to every object on it, and that force will accelerate an object toward the Earth's center, unless it is prevented by some intervening mass. It will still have the potential to accelerate again if the intervening mass is removed.


Is there more force created when 2 objects meet in motion or when 1 object is still?

When two objects meet in motion, there is generally more force created compared to when one object is still. This is because when both objects are in motion, they have momentum which adds to the force of the collision. When one object is still, there is only the force of the moving object acting upon the still object.


What force does earth attracts another object towards itself?

The huge mass and density of the earth have a pull in objects in space. It is still unsure if Earth's magnetic field has any effect on this attraction.


Does stuff on the moon float?

No. Objects rest on the surface. While gravity in the moon is much weaker than it is on Earth, it is still a significant force. Objects that are dropped fall more slowly but they still fall.
