What force is counteracting the attractive force of gravity on the pieces of paper?
This depends on what the pieces of paper are up to.
- If the pieces of paper are at rest on a surface, the normal (perpendicular) force of that surface is counteracting the attractive force of gravity.
- If the pieces of paper are in the air, some aerodynamic forces are counteracting the attractive force of gravity, but only the component of the aerodynamic forces that is directed in the opposite direction of gravity. (That is, if you throw the pieces of paper UP in the air aerodynamics and gravity will do work in the same direction, and no force will counteract gravity.) This system is not in equillibrium and the pieces of paper will sooner or later fall to the ground.
- It should be possible to counteract the attracting force of gravity by giving the pieces of paper an electrostatic charge and holding an object of opposite charge above them. This can be done by rubbing the pieces of paper against an inflated rubber balloon, the papers will stick to the balloon. Note that for this to work, something will have to counteract the force of gravity on the balloon. This can be done by suspending it from the roof or holding it in your hand. Something would then have to counteract the attractive force of gravity on the roof (the walls) or you (whatever you are standing on)... and so on ad infinitum...
What else can I help you with?
Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by?
If the force of gravity crushing a star in weren't balanced, it would collapse. The outward-pushing force counteracting gravity is the energy produced in nuclear fusion, when the heat and pressure inside of stars smashes atoms together.
Which of these uses the force of gravity to make it move?
Which of these uses the force of gravity to make it move
What does the universal law of gravitation state?
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe, any two objects that have a finite mass exert an attractive force on each other.
The force of gravity opposes what other force?
The force of gravity opposes acceleration away from the source of the gravity. This is expressed as "centrifugal force" or the perpendicular component of a tangential velocity. The balance between these keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
Which force is responsible for tides in the sea?
The "force" your talking about is the moons gravity as well as the suns gravity for example a "spring tide" is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth therefor stretching the oceans into an oval. A spring tide is the optimal tide meaning it is the strongest type of tide but only occurs roughly every month
Is gravity both an attractive and repelling force?
Gravity is an attractive force that pulls objects towards each other. It is not a repelling force.
What force pulls a attractive force?
gravity;)
Why is the buoyant force an upward force?
The buoyant force is an upward force because it is a result of the pressure difference between the top and bottom of an object submerged in a fluid. The higher pressure at the bottom of the object pushes it upward, counteracting the force of gravity pulling it down.
Is gravity strictly an attractive force or is it magnetism where it can be attractive or repulsive?
Gravity is strictly an attractive force, meaning it always pulls objects towards each other. It differs from magnetism, which can be both attractive and repulsive depending on the orientation of the magnetic fields.
Why does a planet not move away from its path?
Because gravity is counteracting centrifugal force, holding it in orbit.
What is the name of the force pushing up?
The force pushing up is called the normal force. It acts perpendicular to the surface an object is resting on, counteracting the force of gravity.
What is the attractive force that occurs between the Sun and the Earth called?
It is called gravity.
What is the attractive force that pulls all objects together?
Gravity is the attractive force that pulls all objects together. It is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other.
When someone jumps up to make a basket what force returns her to the ground?
The force that brings someone back to the ground after jumping is the force of gravity. Gravity pulls downwards on the person, counteracting the force generated by their jump and causing them to descend back to the ground.
What G is the attractive force between two objects?
Gravity.
Is gravity an attractive force?
Yes, gravity is an attractive force that causes objects with mass to be drawn towards each other. This force is responsible for the Earth orbiting the Sun and objects falling toward the ground.
Why does an object fall down?
An object falls down due to the force of gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth. Gravity is a force that exists between two masses, in this case, the object and the Earth. As long as there is no other force counteracting gravity, the object will continue to fall downward.
