Because there is a gravitational force of attraction between every two objects that have mass.
The force is proportional to the product of the two masses, and inversely proportional to the square of their separation.
The object you drop is attracted to the earth, to the sun, to the moon, to your car, to your dog,
and to every planet and star.
Since the earth is the largest and closest mass, the attractive force toward the earth is the greatest,
and that's therefore the direction in which the object moves.
Earth's gravity affects an object by attracting it towards the center of the Earth, causing the object to have weight. The strength of this gravitational force depends on the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. Objects experience a downward acceleration due to gravity, causing them to fall towards the Earth if unsupported.
If by fall you mean freefall, then one is accellerated by gravity (-9.8m/s^2) until their terminal velocity or until they hit the earth. One's terminal velocity is when the force of friction from the air equals the force on the object in question imposed by gravity. F=ma is to find out the force on the object due to gravity and then air resistence I'm not too sure about but for the average human its around 200km/h.
The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans causes the tides to rise and fall. The gravitational force creates bulges of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, leading to high and low tides.
Assuming the object is in free fall near Earth's surface, it will fall approximately 343.3 meters (1126 feet) in 7 seconds. This calculation is based on the formula for free fall distance: d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the distance fallen, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds.
The seasons spring and fall are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and the revolution of the Earth. When it is spring in the U.S, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit more in the U.S. When it is fall, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit less in the U.S.
Gravity causes an object to fall to Earth.
The force that causes an object in free fall is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, pulling them towards each other. In the case of free fall, gravity is the force that causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth.
gravity causes objects to fall
The force of gravity puts an object into free fall. When an object is dropped, the force of gravity acting on it causes it to accelerate downwards towards the Earth.
Gravity causes an object to fall from a height. Without gravity, the object would just be floating in the air.
Objects fall due to the force of gravity, which pulls them towards the center of the Earth. When an object is not supported or balanced, gravity causes it to fall towards the ground.
a object is a thing earth can fall by leaning over.
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.
The magnitude of acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This acceleration is due to gravity and causes the object to accelerate downward at a constant rate.
Gravity.
When falling to the ground (or even just in the air), the acceleration of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the object it is falling towards. Here on earth, all things fall relative to the earth which causes an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2
The object in free fall is actually accelerating toward the earth, this acceleration is caused by gravity. So, yes gravity will be acting on a falling object and any object near the earth. It might help you to think of the same object on the other side of the earth falling up to remind you that it is the earth pulling on everything around it toward the centre. The phrase "free fall" is really misleading imoh.
