Is the speed of gravity faster than light?

No, the speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light, according to the theory of general relativity.


Does wave speed increase as gravity increases?

No, wave speed does not increase as gravity increases. The speed of waves depends on the medium through which they are traveling, not on the force of gravity. In a given medium, the speed of waves is determined by its properties such as density and elastic properties.


Does gravity affect the speed of light?

Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.


How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?

Speed and acceleration do not directly affect gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all objects regardless of their speed or acceleration. However, an object's speed and acceleration can influence its motion within a gravitational field, such as causing it to orbit a larger body or fall towards it at an accelerated rate.


Is gravity an instantaneous force?

No. In Newtonian physics, gravity is treated as an instantaneous force, but in General Relativity, gravity propagates at the speed of light in a vacuum. There's some debate on whether it's actually been experimentally shown that the "speed of gravity" is the same as the speed of light in a vacuum or not. However, there is fairly clear experimental evidence that it does have a speed and is not instantaneous. See the Wikipedia article in "Related Links" for a much longer and more detailed discussion.
