No, gravity just pulls the pencil towards the desk but it doesnt make it balanced. Think about it, if you have an unbalanced desk with a pencil on it the pencil would be unbalanced too.

What is the forces that keeps the balanced rock balanced on its tiny pedestals?

The balanced rock stays balanced due to a combination of factors such as the shape and weight distribution of the rock itself, as well as friction and gravity acting on the rock and its base. These forces work together to keep the rock in place despite its precarious position.


What forces keep the Balanced Rock in Idaho balanced?

The Balanced Rock in Idaho is believed to be kept in balance by a combination of gravity, friction, and the rock's shape. Its narrow connection to the base provides stability and prevents it from toppling over. Additionally, the rock's center of mass is situated low, further aiding in its balance.


What force acts against gravity to keep you from sinking into solid ground when you stand?

The upward normal force from the ground pushes against gravity to keep you from sinking into solid ground when you stand. The normal force is caused by the atoms in the ground that resist being compressed by your weight, resulting in a balanced force keeping you upright.


What one falls faster a ball or a pencil?

Gravity has the same amount of gravitation pull that keeps us from falling of the earth. Think of it this way the gravity on earth keeps skyskrapers from falling off the earth just as easy as it is to keep a pencil from falling of the earth so if you drop the two at the same time and height they will both hit the ground at the same time "unless'' it is air resistent meaning that the flow of air will go through it such as paper. :)


Is a A child being pushed on a swing a balanced or unbalanced force?

When a child is being pushed on a swing, it is an example of an unbalanced force. The force provided by the push helps to overcome the force of gravity to keep the child swinging.

If a book is hanging from a rope are the forces balanced or unbalanced and why?

The forces at work are balanced. Gravity is pulling the book (and the rope) down, and the rope exerts an equal and opposite force to keep the book suspended.


What is natural forces?

Natural forces are a invisible force trying to keep the world balanced. Pull and push are both natural forces so is gravity.

How was the name 'desktop' derived?

it was derived from the name of the desk (hence)


How is orbit and gravity related?

When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.

What is one revolution?

One revolution means one complete turn on an objects axis. For instance, if you lay a pencil on the desk in front of you and with one hand place your finger on the center to keep it in place and with the other hand turn the point of the pencil. When the point is returned to it's original starting point you have completed one full revolution.
