Why don't we feel gravitational force?

We do feel gravitational force if that force is not nullified by another force. But for an equal supporting force, we will be moving toward the center of earth and in that case, we will feel the gravitational force.

While lifting an object up , we feel the gravitational force.

==============================

Another thought:

We don't feel anything that is constant and never-changing.

We only feel things when they change.

Another example is: Velocity, or speed and direction of motion.

You can relax quite peacefully, and even nod off, in a passenger jet

cruising at 500 miles per hour, 7 miles above the ground. You're

reminded of your situation only when the aircraft turns, speeds up,

or slows down. (And not even so much in a bank and turn if they're

well coordinated.)

Another example: A modern, high-speed elevator (a lift).

You feel little or nothing during the high-speed 'cruise' portion

of the journey, but you become aware of the motion during the

acceleration phases, at the beginning and end of a long transfer.

Why can you feel and see the effect of Earth's gravitational force on you but can't see or feel Earth's gravitational force on your teacher?

thats because only you can feel your feelings ...for example if you fall down and get hurt it will hurt you but it won't hurt me,coz you are the one who got hurt and just like that your teacher won't feel and see the effect of earth's gravitational force on you but she will feel and see earth's gravitational force on her.(your question is a little dumb)


Why you couldn't feel the gravitational force and charges can feel the electrostatic force?

But you do feel gravitational force. Your body has weight, doesn't it? Your arms have weight and you feel them being pulled down? If you let go of your arms, they move down? What you feel is the force required to oppose the force of gravity. Newton's Third law says that, for every force, there is an equal and opposite force. Your muscles impose a force holding your arms up. You feel this as effort, i.e. force. As far as electrostatic force, its the same concept...

Is there gravity in a rocket ship?

If the rockets are active then you will feel a gravitational force pulling you down in the direction opposite the rocket's motion. If they are off however you are weightless and you experience no gravitational force.


How does space have no gravity?

Gravitational pull still acts in space, but when you are in space, you are too far from the earth to feel any of its gravitational force. Gravitational force between two objects depends on their distance from each other and the further two objects are apart, the weaker the force of gravity is. So when we are in space, the earth's gravitational pull is still acting on us, but it is too far away for us to feel it.


What is the second largest source of gravity?

On Earth the largest source of gravitational force that we feel is the Earth.The second largest source of gravitational force that we feel is the Sun.The third largest source is the Moon....and the fourth is anyone we stand really close to.


Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?

Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.


why we can not feel gravitational force around us?

The masses of humans are quite small and thus the magnitude of gravitational force is also very small and negligible as compared to that shown by Earth. Thus, gravitational force exists between two people sitting close by but it is negligible and cannot be felt.

Why the gravitational force is absent in space?

Gravitational force is not absent in space. In fact, gravitational force is what keeps the universe together. The planets orbit the sun based on gravitational force.
