What is the force exerted upwards from the ground?

In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.


What provides the force that causes the centripetal acceleratoin of the satellite in orbit?

The force that provides the centripetal acceleration for a satellite in orbit is the gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting, such as Earth. This gravitational force acts as the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in its circular path around the celestial body.


What is relative surface gravity?

Relative surface gravity is a measure comparing the force of gravity on one celestial body's surface to that of another celestial body. It takes into account the differences in mass and radius between the two bodies. This comparison helps in understanding the gravitational pull exerted on objects on the surface of different celestial bodies.


What is a measure of gravitational force acting on an object?

The measure of gravitational force acting on an object is its weight, which is the force exerted on the object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth or another celestial body. It is typically measured in units of force such as newtons or pounds.


A push or pull exerted on one body by another?

The answer is FORCE


What is the force called that gravity is acting on you?

The force exerted by the earth towards itself,known as the gravitational force is called that gravity is acting on you.


Is bouyancy a downward force exerted by a fluid on a body placed in the fluid?

No, buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a fluid on a body placed in the fluid. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body, according to Archimedes' principle.


What is a push or pull exerted in one body by another?

That is force.


Name the two forces acting on a floating boat?

1) FORCE EXERTED BY THE BODY TOWARDS EARTH {WEIGHT} 2) FORCE EXERTED BY WATER ON THE BODY [DUE TO DISPLACED WATER] NOTE:- HERE THERE WILL BE NO VISCOUS FORCE


When a body is placed on a surface it exert a force but the body does not move or fall why?

If the body is not moving or falling when placed on a surface, it means that the force of gravity pulling the body down is balanced by the force exerted by the surface pushing the body up. This balance of forces results in the body remaining stationary.


What is a force that always acts in a direction exerted by a fluid on a body placed in the fluid?

Buoyant force.


What are examples of force being exerted?

Two examples of force being exerted include gravitational and electromagnetic. A body of mass rested on a surface is being held there by the Earth's force of gravity.
