gravity is a force that pulls us on to the ground and earth makes the gravity.In space there is no gravity (scientist call this zero gravity) so gravity isn't pulling the universe back because there is no gravity outside planets.

If gravity dominates the expansion of the universe what would happen to the universe?

If gravity dominated the expansion of the universe, the universe would eventually stop expanding and begin to contract. This would lead to a "Big Crunch" scenario where all matter in the universe collapses back into a hot, dense state.


When do you see gravity in action?

Gravity is always in action, pulling objects towards each other. We see gravity in action when we drop something and it falls to the ground, when the planets orbit around the sun, and when we jump and come back down to the Earth.


What holds the galaxy clusters together in the universe?

Ah, happy little galaxies floating out there in the universe, clustered together like good old friends. What holds them together is something called gravity - it's like a gentle force that pulls all those beautiful galaxies towards each other. Just imagine each galaxy hugging the next one in a cosmic embrace, creating harmony in the vastness of space.


Is gravity the same everywere in the universe?

No, gravity is not the same everywhere in the universe. It varies based on the mass of an object and the distance from it. In areas with more mass, like planets or stars, gravity is stronger, while in areas with less mass, like space between galaxies, gravity is weaker.


How does gravity affect the launch of spacecraft from earth?

Gravity affects the launch of spacecraft from Earth by pulling the spacecraft back towards Earth. The spacecraft must overcome this gravitational force through its propulsion system to successfully launch and enter into orbit. A balance between the force of gravity and the propulsion system is required for a successful launch.

What is the ultimate fate of the universe according to the classical Big Bang advocates?

To go back together because of the force of gravity pulling everything into a pinpoint center, causing a singularity, and then probably causing another big bang.


What causes the back end of car to feel like its pulling to one side?

amount of force or gravity pulling on it


Why is the universe expanding and what force is it expanding into is it anti gravity?

The initial expansion of the universe was caused by the Big Bang's explosion of matter. Just as explosions here on earth cause expansion, so it was then. The math today, however, shows that the universe should be compressing again, as the energy lost over time would then be overridden by gravitational forces pulling everything back together. I'm sorry to say there's no such thing in our universe as anti-gravity, though. The universe's fate is generally accepted to be expansion forever at an ever slowing rate. To answer as to why this occurs, dark energy and dark matter are the forces at work - not anti-gravity.


A universe that expands and comes back together repeatedly?

a closed universe.


When you jump why does gravity pull you back down?

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other. When you jump, you initially overcome gravity's force with the momentum from your leg muscles. However, as you move away from the ground, gravity starts pulling you back down until you land again.


In the big bang theory what describes a universe that will stop expanding and begin to contract?

A closed universe with enough matter to generate sufficient gravitational pull may stop expanding and eventually begin to contract, leading to a "big crunch" scenario where everything collapses back into a singularity. This contraction is driven by the gravitational attraction of matter in the universe pulling everything back together.


What is pulling back on what if People pulling on dragon?

So its a bit like tug of war if people are pulling a dragon, then its going to be pushing the other way. Its a force and gravity pushing together at the same time, but it is quite a hard question so i dont blame you. Sorry if this doesnt help but im only in year 4


If gravity is pulling you what is pushing you back?

Nothing. Actually gravity is pushing you down but there is enough air resistance on the earth to stop us feeling heavy and crushed


Why is there increased risk of damaging your back when the load you are lifting is away from your centre of gravity?

This is because you are poorly balanced when the load is away from your center of gravity. The poor balance leads to you pulling muscles and damaging your back.


How does gravity control the size and shape of the universe?

big bang explosion forced everything out from small place , at some point gravity will pull it back in

What forces keep a pendulum swinging back and forth?

Once you put some energy into it by pulling it to one side, gravity does.
