Actually, gravity is an attraction. The theory goes that all matter attracts other matter. The big question is, "What part (particle) of an atom is the one responsible for this attraction (gravity)?" This is one of the mysteries that physicists are trying to solve in high-energy particle collisions. They are hoping to smash atomic particles together at such high speeds, with enough force to break them up into the most basic pieces possible. We suspect that some very basic particle-like the Higgs boson-may be the one that causes this attraction we call gravity.

What other force can oppose gravity?

Any force can. You "oppose" gravity every time you get out of bed and stand up, and every time you use the force of your leg muscles to walk upstairs.


Force the opposes motion?

There are many types of forces that oppose motion such as friction, drag and most universal, gravity.


What are two forces that oppose flight?

Gravity and drag are two forces that oppose flight. Gravity pulls the aircraft downward, while drag slows the aircraft's forward movement. Both forces must be overcome for an object to achieve and maintain flight.


What force makes objects sink?

The earth's gravitational pull makes objects sink in a liquid, but buoyancy acts in the opposite direction to oppose the gravity. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on which force is bigger. ================================


What factors affect the ability of gravity to do work?

The factors that affect the ability of gravity to do work include the distance the object falls, the mass of the object, and the presence of other forces that may oppose gravity, such as friction or air resistance. The work done by gravity is determined by the height through which the object falls and the force of gravity acting on the object.
