Everything the Basketball does after it leaves the hand is the result of

the forces acting on it and its velocity achieved from the hands launching it. The force that acts on the basketball is the force of gravity.

Yes, it does.


How does the force change on how high the rocket goes?

At high elevations, the force of gravity becomes less.


Does gravity or magnetism hold everything in place in solar the system?

Gravity. Magnetism is a fairly short-range force, but gravity goes on forever.


How does gravity affect the weight of matter?

It's a very direct relationship; weight is caused by gravity. weight = mass x gravity Therefor, if gravity goes up and mass stays constant weight, goes up. And the reverse is true if gravity goes down and mass stays constant, weight goes down.


What force does Earth exerts on a ball thrown into the air?

The force exerted by Earth on a ball thrown into the air is the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. As the ball goes up, gravity acts to bring it back down towards the Earth's surface.


What are some forces that might affect a rock as it tumbles down a hill?

A force hit the rock which made it roll down the hill.


What direction does buoyant force point?

the buoyant force points up and gravity goes down that's why we are balanced.


How strong is the sun gravity?

Gravity causes force that pulls every two masses together. It's the force of gravity between the sun and earth that keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. Same goes for the other planets. The force of gravity is also what holds you on the earth. Gravity is everywhere, and you see the effects wherever there are two masses.


When you throw a ball it goes up then goes down why?

When you throw a ball, gravity pulls it towards the earth. Initially, the force of your throw propels the ball upwards against gravity until it reaches its peak height. Once at the peak, gravity starts acting on the ball causing it to descend back towards the ground.


The energy you give to an object when you use a force that goes against the force of gravity?

The energy you give to an object when you use a force that goes against the force of gravity is called gravitational potential energy. As you lift an object against gravity, you are doing work on it, which results in an increase in potential energy due to its height above the ground. This potential energy can be converted back into kinetic energy if the object is released and falls.


Is the force of gravity acting upon an object the object's mass?

No. Mass is a property of the object and doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what's happening to it. The force of gravity on the object is its "weight" and that can change. It depends on, for example, what planet the object is on.


Does gravity go up or down?

Gravity is a force between 2 bodies. Gravity goes in the direction towards the body of greater mass. For things on earth, gravity is in the "downward" direction (i.e. towards the earth), since the earth is of greater mass than other objects.
