The force of gravity, called gravitational force, pulls every object that weighs anything (has mass) toward every other object that has mass. The closer the objects are, the higher their force of gravity on each other.

Is Gravity a force that pulls two or more objects together?

Yes, in a sloppy manner of speaking. A better way to say it is that gravity is a property of mass and space that causes forces of attraction between every pair of masses.

Besides the moon what other large heavenly body also pulls on Earth's waters?

Two factors contribute to gravitational attraction; mass, and distance. The Moon isn't all that massive, astronomically speaking, but it is right next door. No other body is close enough, except for one really massive object; the Sun.

What force pulls electrons and proton together?

The force that pulls electrons and protons together is electromagnetic force. This force is responsible for the attraction between opposite charges (electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged), which keeps the electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom.


When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him or her down to the water what is the reaction force to earth gravity?

The reaction force to Earth's gravity on the diver is the gravitational attraction that the diver exerts back on Earth. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the Earth pulls the diver down, and the diver also pulls the Earth up with an equal force.


Was there attraction between the comb and kerosene?

No, there was no attraction between the comb and kerosene. Attraction refers to the force that pulls objects together due to their different electric charges, which does not apply to the interaction between a non-charged comb and a liquid like kerosene.

That force is called gravity. Gravity is a force of attraction that pulls objects with mass toward one another. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
