What effect does global warming have on tides?
Tides are the result of gravitational forces between the Earth and moon. Global warming would little effect on tidal patterns although sea levels can be affected by global warming.
Why is it possible to shield a room against electric forces but not against gravitational forces?
Electromagnetic force and gravitational force are very different in a number of ways. Perhaps the most significant difference is that there are both positive and negative electrical charges, and north and south magnetic poles, whereas there is only one, positive form of gravity (if we could produce negative gravity, long dreamed of by science fiction writers, that would be tremendously useful). Electric forces interact with shielding agents (in the form of electrical conductors) and are absorbed, and do not reach the shielded interior of the room, but gravity is not absorbed in that way - it permeates everything equally. The ultimate nature of gravity is more mysterious than that of electromagnetism, and is still under debate by theoretical physicists. If it is true as suggested by Einstein that gravitational force is the result of a warping in the geometry of four dimensional space-time, you can see why it would be difficult to shield against it.
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
What is the attractive force that exists between all objects?
gravitational force
What would happen to water if you stopped the motion of the bucket upside down?
it would fall down because of the gravitational pull
Would you weigh more if the earth stopped spinning?
No, the mass dictates the gravitational forces.
Jupiter has about 300 times the mass of Earth and about ten times Earth's radius. What's the Estimated size of g on the surface of Jupiter?
Since gravitational forces between two masses are proportional to m1 & m2, a 300x increase in planetary mass would INCREASE the gravitational force on an object by the same factor: 300x compared to earth. Since gravitational forces are also proportional to 1/(radius squared), a 10x increase in planetary radius would DECREASE the gravitational force by a factor of 100x (10 squared), at the planet's surface. So an object on such a planet would experience gravitational forces 3x greater than those on earth.

Would shirley she short be able to conduct this same study if she was on a spaceship in a location in space far from the influence of significant gravitational forces?
no because the gravitational pull on earth would not be there and so the bricks would be lighter than as they were on earth
What would happen if the ozoen layer vanished?
If the ozone vanished, life would vanish too. Mankind would perish.
Why does the planets orbit the sun?
Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)
Is there any gravitational pull on mercury?
Yes. Every object---everyone---has gravitational forces. The gravitational force is proportional to the Mass of an object. So the Moon is exerting forces on the Earth and vice versa, but the larger object influences the smaller one more. If the Moon did not have gravitational force, then the Earth's oceans would not have tides. Mecury is so close to the massive Sun, that its small force is no match to the Sun's force.
What is the force from gravity?
If your question rephrased is 'What force does gravity give?' then the answer would be a Gravitational Force. In depth, a Gravitational force is a pulling force which, when opposing other forces, is usually over 55% dominant.
Why would you rip apart in a black hole?
Immense gravitational forces would cause large mass objects to be stretched and compacted as it nears the black hole. Whatever is closer gets pulled in first, providing for unequal gravitational attraction.
Why is the earth not a triangle?
because a sphere is the most stable shape when gravity is located at the center. All points are equa-distance from the center, to experience the same gravitational force. A triangle is not, and so some places are further from the center and would have vastly different gravitational forces. These forces would cause pressure difference that would try to force the triange to become a sphere.
How do comets move so fast?
I would think by getting pulled into gravitational forces and being swung right back out into space.
If you are vanished from earth what will happen?
If you're vanished from earth, there will be no change. Maybe the environment would heel itself.
Why do planets orbit around the sun?
Since the Sun has the most mass of all the objects in the solar system, it has the strongest gravitational pull. If there were another object in the solar system with more mass than the Sun, the planets (and the Sun itself) would orbit it. If there were no Sun's gravity (or other gravitational forces) the planets would travel in straight lines instead of orbits.
