Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.

Does a mass measurement include the effect of earths gravitational pull on the object being measured?

Theoretically it's independent, but often in practice you just weigh something and convert.


What happens to the force between two objects being pulled together by gravitational attract?

The force between two objects being pulled together by gravitational attraction increases as their masses or the distance between them increases. This force is governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What are ocean tides created by?

The differential gravitational fields of the sun and the moon. (Actually all the planets have some effect ... but its all too small to be detected.) Note that the small moon has at least 4 times the effect of the giant sun - because it's NOT the gravitational field BUT the difference in the field on the opposite sides of the Earth.


Why water vapour is not pulled due to gravity?

Water vapor is not pulled down by gravity because its molecules are constantly moving and colliding with each other. The random thermal motion of water vapor molecules counteracts the gravitational force pulling them down, leading to a dynamic equilibrium. Additionally, water vapor is lighter than air, so it tends to rise rather than being pulled down by gravity.

CFC's chlorofluorocarbons

What force happens when you're falling in a roller coaster?

I believe your answer would be gravity. You are always being pulled by the Earths gravitational force, and it is what keeps your feet on the ground, and fall down if you are not conected to something.


What would happen to the force between two objects being pulled together by a gravitational attraction?

Nothing, the force in question IS gravitational attraction.


What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?

The planets are kept in orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between them. This force, which is a balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull, keeps the planets moving in a stable path around the sun.


How did the earth's moon get there?

a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth


How do comets move so fast?

I would think by getting pulled into gravitational forces and being swung right back out into space.


Gravity acts on any two objects with mass any where in the universe?

There is Gravity everywhere that man knows of. Gravity is created by the mass of any object, even you and me. However our gravitational pull is too small for someone to feel it. Side note: The reason astronauts are "weightless" is because of how they orbit the Earth. They are being pulled out, kind of like you are pulled when you turn a corner fast, but they are also being pulled by the Earth.


What effect does earth's own gravitational pull have on a tossed ball?

Earth's gravitational pull causes the ball to fall back down to the ground after being tossed. The strength of the gravitational pull determines how quickly the ball falls and how high it can be thrown.


What is gravitational wobble?

Gravitational wobble is the effect of an object being pulled by the gravitational forces of other nearby objects, causing it to slightly shift or wobble in its orbit or rotation. This phenomenon can be observed in celestial bodies like planets and moons as they interact with each other gravitationally.


Why do astronauts experience less gravitational force?

They don't. They have just as much gravitational force on them as you and me. The difference is the two initial frames of reference. You and I are being held down to planet. They are "falling" around the planet in an orbital free fall.


Because of freefall astronauts appear this way in orbit?

In orbit, astronauts appear weightless and float because they are in a state of constant freefall towards Earth. Due to the lack of air resistance and the gravitational pull being the only force acting on them, they experience the sensation of weightlessness.
