Well honey, if gravity took a one-second coffee break, we'd all be soaring into the sky faster than you can say "I believe I can fly." Objects would float off the ground, liquids would defy the laws of physics, and chaos would reign supreme for just a moment. But lucky for gravity, it's got a job to do, so don't get any ideas about floating away any time soon.

A basketball is thrown up into the air at it highest point the basketball stops for a fraction of a second The reason that this happen is that?

gravity The downward force of gravity becomes greater than the force you put into throwing the ball upward.


Is gravity measured in grams?

gravity is weight and weight is measured in N (newtons). so, no, its not measured in grams. :) Actually, gravity is measured as acceleration and is 9.8 Meters/second/second or 32.2 feet/second/second. Weight is the effect felt BECAUSE of gravity.


What planet has the second greatest gravity is it Saturn or Neptune?

Saturn has the second greatest mass, so it also has the second greatest gravity.


Newton learned that the orbits of the planets are the result of two actions explain these actions?

With Newton's law of motion, he proved that the force of gravity-combined with the tendency of a planet to remain in a straight-line motion- results in the elliptical orbits discovered by Kepler. Earth, for example, moves forward in its orbit about 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) each second, and during the same second, the force of gravity pulls it toward the Sun about 0.5 centimeters (1/8 inch). Therefore, as Newton concluded, it is the combination of Earth's forward motion and its "falling" motion that defines its orbit. If gravity were somehow eliminated, Earth would move in a straight line out into space. Conversely, if Earth's forward motion suddenly stopped, gravity would pull it directly to the Sun.


If the earth stopped spinning would you lose gravity?

No, you would not fall off the earth if it stopped spinning. Earth's gravity, which holds you onto the planet now, will still hold you onto itself.if wat u mean is lik if the earth suddenly stopped spinning would u fall off;obviously impossible, but if it was to happen u would not fall off but u would get shot a few miles in the direction that the eaarth was spinning before due to ur enertia (aka an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by another force... lik the wall). tht would b cool though if u didnt die from it. and even cooler if u were in a helecopter. o.o if u were hovering still in connecticut, the next second you'd b in lik new york. ud b lik wtf? this thing has more kick than i thought. so to answer ur question briefly, if the earth suddenly stopped spinning, u would not fall off... but it would b very painful. but if u mean tht if the earth stopped spinning would there still b gravity, then yes there would still b gravety. all matter makes gravity. spinning doesnt make gravity. gravity is caused by the way tht matter creates a warp in the fabric of space time. other objects tend to fall into it if close enough. (u make gravity too) so lik ya tht pretty much covers it.


What is the second greatest source of gravity in space?

Is the gravity on Venus stronger or weaker than Earth's gravity?

Weaker. The gravity on the surface of Venus is about 8.87 meters per square second; for comparison, on Earth, the gravity is about 9.82 meters per square second.


How fast is the speed of gravity?

Gravity does not exactly have a speed, but it does cause an acceleration (on Earth) of 9.8 meters per second per second. It is also believed that gravity propagates through space at the speed of light (which is 300,000 kilometers per second).


What is Force of gravity yard per second?

The force of gravity is typically measured in units of newtons (N), not yards per second. The force of gravity on an object is 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s^2) on Earth.
