Gravity affects extreme sports like Skateboarding by limiting how high an athlete can jump.

It limits ball games to how high the ball will fly when you hit/kick it. The amount of homeruns a team will score in baseball is limited by how many people can overcome gravity and hit the ball far enough.

Friction affects raquet sports like Table Tennis, by allowing the athlete to apply spin to the ball with their bat/raquet. It also allows people to change direction quickly, the friction between their shoe and the floor lets them slow down sufficiently, in sports like Basketball.

What is gravity if it is not a force?

Gravity really is one of the four main forces of the Universe. gravity is an effect and not the cause of anything, no gravitation's, no gravity waves, none of it. gravity is a dynamic effect. the acceleration of the underlying for of energy focused to the center of a mass. there is no separate force called gravity, just a dynamic effect we call 'gravity'

What are the four types of friction?

The four types of friction are static friction (when an object is stationary), kinetic friction (when an object is in motion), rolling friction (when an object rolls over a surface), and fluid friction (when an object moves through a fluid like air or water).


What is the relationship between gravity and friction?

Gravity and friction is different because gravity is the force of something thats going downward and friction is the force that is being pushed if touching the ground. For example, if you was to go skating the friction is the force that you applied between the skates and the ground.


Which of the 4 terrestrial planets has the most gravity?

Earth is the largest and most massive of the four inner or terrestrial planets. Its surface gravity is therefore the highest of the four.


How many types of friction are there?

There are four main types of friction: static friction (when object is not moving), kinetic friction (when object is moving), rolling friction (when object rolls on a surface), and fluid friction (opposes the motion of an object through a fluid).

What are the four factors that create wind?

The four factors are pressure gradiant force, coriolis force, friction force and gravity. Pressure gradient force move airs of higher pressure to lower pressure. Coriolis force prevents anything from moving in a straight line to earths oblate sphere. Friction rides the wind and without it air would travel parellel. Gravity because the power of gravity pulls air down.
