The name given to the attractive force experienced by all matter is gravity. Gravity is caused by the core of the earth and keeps everything from floating away.

How do you describe matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and volume.
How does a chemical change affect the composition of matter?
chemical change = chemical reaction. ( the composition of matter always changes). In a chemical change the matter in one thing changes, for example you will know a chemical change has occurred when the color or odor has changes or when a new gas is given off.
What is atmospheric pressure based on?
What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc.
What name is given to the process by which detritivores return carbon to the atmosphere?
Decomposition. Detritivores are decaying organic creatures, their faecal matter, or both. The carbon in their remains decomposes into the atmosphere.
What force put on a given area by the air above?
We know that force acting perpendicularly on an area is thrust & thrust acting on an unit area is called pressure. Pressure exerted by wind or air hasn't been classified individually,rather we all together say it atmospheric pressure. And it is nearly 100000 Pa. so we may say it as atmospheric pressure. -----Akashraj Ghosh, Kharagpur
What is the attractive force between to ions of opposite charge?
covalent bond
What is the electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
Under what conditions gravity between two objects increase?
when the mass of either object increases, or the distance between their centers decreases. It is the attractive force that is affected by the mass of each object or the distance between them. Even though it cannot be proved from 1st principles, the attractive force relationship between the 2 objects is given by (m=mass, d=distance): m1 x m2 --------- d2 Thus, the attractive force increases when either m1 or m2 increases. This force also increases very much (as the square) when the distance decreases.
Definition to electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
Describe an electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
How does electricity give off energy?
Electrons are given energy because of the work done by the attractive or repulsive force, when they reach the place where they meet positive charges, they give off (release) their energy.
Why is E-stilbene solid and Z-stilbene liquid?
The attractive forces between the molecules in E-stilbene must be stronger than the attractive forces holding Z-stilbene together. The degree of attraction between molecules in a substance always accounts for its state of matter at a given temperature.
Why pressure is inversely proportional to volume?
Pressure is given as Force per unit area (ie. 1 Pascal of pressure is the experienced when 1 Newton of force is exerted over an area of 1m^2). Therefore Pressure and Force are proportional to one another. Area the force is exerted over is inversely proportional to pressure.
What is the amount of matter is given space?
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
Explain how the movement of electrons relates to the concept of potential energy.?
The force acts on the charged particles themselves, hence charge has a tendency to spread itself as evenly as possible over a conducting surface. The magnitude of the electromagnetic force, whether attractive or repulsive, is given by Coulomb's law
The mass of a quantity of a substance is?
determined by its resistance to acceleration
How does earth's gravity work?
Gravity is an attractive force that is exerted by all matter. Any two objects with mass will be attracted to one another. The greater the mass of the object, the stronger its gravity at any given distance. Most objects do not have enough mass for their gravity to be noticeable, but Earth does, as do all planets. Any object near Earth will be pulled in the direction of Earth's center.
