What else can I help you with?
What flows from a mountain top downward?
Water, such as streams and rivers, flow downward from a mountain top due to gravity. This water can accumulate to form larger bodies of water like lakes and oceans.
Does gravity go up or down?
Gravity is a force between 2 bodies. Gravity goes in the direction towards the body of greater mass. For things on earth, gravity is in the "downward" direction (i.e. towards the earth), since the earth is of greater mass than other objects.
When gravity deceases what increases?
When gravity decreases, objects will weigh less and experience a reduction in gravitational force. This can lead to increased buoyancy in liquids, decreased friction between objects, and easier movement in low-gravity environments.
Could the effects of zero gravity on human bodies be reduced during a long space voyage?
Our bodies require gravity for, among other things, proper kidney/bladder function. However, the effects of zero gravity can be reduced by "artificial" gravity through the use of essentially a big centrifuge. This would simulate the downward pull of gravity. I remember reading a study somewhere a long time ago that talked about this. This is why on the science fiction shows you often see a part of a space ship rotating; this area not only gives an artificial gravity effect, but space-goers would spend a certain amount of time in there to simulate gravity for their bodies.
What is a force that pulls material down a slope?
Gravity Also, Erosion and Weathering help out the process as well.
How does the strength of gravity affect acceleration of falling bodies?
All bodies with mass are affected by gravity. Gravity pulls at a rate of 9.8m/s/s
Why does acceleration due to gravity always point vertical downward?
Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
What is floating in physics?
Nothing "floats in gravity." Floating in a result of the buoyancy force provided by a fluid. Balloons float because of the buoyancy force from air. Boats float because of the buoyancy force from water. Objects that appear to float in space are usually in orbit, which is actually a state of freefall.
Why dont the large bodies attract smaller bodies?
They do. It is called gravity
Which of the two forces are important in floating bodies?
water pressure which is effected by gravitational force and buoyancy
What is the definition of the word gravity in science terms?
Gravity is the force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. It is responsible for the downward pull that objects experience towards the Earth's center. Gravity is a fundamental force in physics that governs the motion of celestial bodies and plays a crucial role in the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets.
What about Earth's allows it to maintain bodies of water?
moderate temperatures and strong gravity (APEX)
