They're alike by both pulling down on something. The only difference is the a certain material is needed for a magnet to use it's magnetic force. Gravity doesn't need anything.

What True or false magnetic force is a gravitational force?

False. Magnetic force and gravitational force are two distinct types of forces. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects due to their mass, while magnetic force is the force between magnets or between a magnet and a magnetic material.


Is the magnetic force is more powerful then gravitational force?

In certain situations, yes, the magnetic force can be stronger than the gravitational force. For example, on a small scale such as with magnets or charged particles, magnetic forces can dominate over gravitational forces. However, on a large scale such as with planets or stars, gravitational force is typically much stronger than magnetic force.


Two forces that don't depend upon physical contact?

Gravitational force and magnetic force are two examples of forces that do not require physical contact between objects to act on each other. Gravitational force is the attraction between masses, while magnetic force is the interaction between magnetic fields.


What universal force is the weakest electric gravitational or magnetic?

Gravitational force is the weakest universal force. It is significantly weaker than the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces.


How is the gravitational force like a magnetic force?

Gravitational force and magnetic force both act at a distance without direct contact. They both follow an inverse square law, meaning the strength decreases with distance squared. However, gravitational force is always attractive between masses, while magnetic force can be attractive or repulsive between charges.

What force is applied to something without making contact with the object?

Gravitational force or magnetic force.


Is gravitational force different than magnetic force?

Yes, gravitational force is the attraction between two masses due to their mass alone, while magnetic force is the force exerted between magnets or moving charges due to their magnetic properties. Gravitational force follows an inverse square law, while magnetic force follows more complex laws described by Maxwell's equations.


What are electrical force gravitational force and magnetic force?

Electrical force is the force that exists between charged particles, either attracting or repelling based on their charges. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses, such as between the Earth and objects on its surface. Magnetic force is the force exerted between magnets or between a magnetic field and a moving charged particle.


What kind of force acts between magnetic poles if the are alike?

If the magnetic poles are alike (north-north or south-south), they will repel each other due to the inverse square law of magnetic force. The force of repulsion increases as the distance between the like poles decreases.


What force makes objects touch?
