Gravity affects anything with a weight. Take a feather for example; it may fall slowly if you drop it, but the speed has nothing to do with gravity. It is infact air resistance that slows the feathers descent. weightless things like gases have no gravitational pull, so they are able to move about freely in the air. I hope that wasn't too confusing :S
What else can I help you with?
What factors affect the amount of gravity between two celestial objects in space?
Not only in space - gravity is universal. The force of gravity is affected by the distance, and by the masses involved.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
Will you be heavy on Mars or light?
You would weigh less on Mars compared to Earth due to Mars' lower gravity. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth, so a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.
Does specific gravity affect hydrostatic pressure?
Yes, specific gravity does affect hydrostatic pressure. The hydrostatic pressure exerted by a fluid is directly proportional to the specific gravity of the fluid. A fluid with higher specific gravity will exert greater hydrostatic pressure at a given depth compared to a fluid with lower specific gravity.
What would happen if only gravity were on the earth?
If only gravity were present on Earth, everything not fixed to the ground would float freely in space, including the atmosphere, water, and objects on the surface of the planet. The lack of other forces like electromagnetism would disrupt the structure and stability of matter on Earth.
Does gravity only act on heavy objects?
No, gravity affects everything in the universe, but heavy objects have more gravity, which is thier affect is more noticeable. Example: There are forces of gravity, and their strength can be calculated, between the lint in your pocket and a speck of dust on the dresser in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.
How does gravity affect the formation of stars?
Gravity doesn't just "affect" the formation of stars; it's just about the only force that CAUSES the stars to form in the first place.
What factors affect the amount of gravity between two celestial objects in space?
Not only in space - gravity is universal. The force of gravity is affected by the distance, and by the masses involved.
What forces or things that affect orbits?
Several factors can affect an orbit, including gravitational pull from nearby objects, atmospheric drag, solar wind, and variations in the shape of the Earth. Changes in velocity, altitude, or direction can also impact an object's orbit. Additionally, perturbations caused by other celestial bodies can influence the path of an object.
What happens if we throw a ball in space?
The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.
Does gravity affect all or only some of the objects in the universe?
Gravity affects all objects in the universe. It is a fundamental force that pulls objects with mass toward each other. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
What controls the period of a pendulum?
For a simple pendulum, consisting of a heavy mass suspended by a string with virtually no mass, and a small angle of oscillation, only the length of the pendulum and the force of gravity affect its period. t = 2*pi*sqrt(l/g) where t = time, l = length and g = acceleration due to gravity.
Why does a black hole suck people besides gravity?
Gravity is the only reason a black hole pulls things in. Nothing can escape a black hole, so gravity is its only way of affecting the outside world.
How does gravity affect matter on the Moon?
The Moon has only about 17% of earths gravity. that means the average man will weigh about 12 kilo, if you drop a stone it will fall to the ground but slowly.
Will having to lift heavy things make your belly button piercing mess up?
Only if you snag the bar with the heavy object and tear it.
Do you only care about things that directly affect you?
No, individuals do not only care about things that directly affect them. Many people care about issues that impact others, society as a whole, or the environment, even if they are not directly affected.
How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
