Aside from the dramatic effect that is observed if you step off the edge of a tall building, gravity impacts you in many more subtle ways. Legs swell as veins lose their elasticity, breasts sag, faces wrinkle and folds hang down, long hair doesn't stand straight out from your head. blog doesn't ooze out from a cut hand if you hold it over your head and people with high blood pressure get red ninth face when they bend over. These are all gravity related problems. Even more subtle gravity keeps the strength in your bones by requiring they be strong enough to hold you up, astronauts lose bone density on long space missions.

How does increasing the mass of your protective container affect the force of gravity on the container?
Increasing the mass of a protective container does not affect the force of gravity acting on it. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet or celestial body the container is on and the distance from the center of that body. The mass of an object does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
What measures the force of gravity of your body?
Your body's weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on it. Weight is determined by your mass and the acceleration due to gravity at your location. The force of gravity is what causes objects to have weight and fall to the ground.
What force does the weight of a body represent?
The weight of a body represents the force exerted by gravity on that body. It is the downward force acting on an object due to gravity pulling it towards the center of the Earth.
What are the forces acting on a roller coaster in a free body diagram?
In a free body diagram of a roller coaster, the forces acting on it are gravity, normal force, friction, and air resistance.
In which condition a body with fixed mass can have zero weight?
A body with fixed mass can have zero weight when it is in freefall or orbiting in space due to the absence of a gravitational force acting on it. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and when the force of gravity is balanced by the centripetal force of the body's motion, the body experiences weightlessness.
Is there force in space?
No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
What is the motion of body when only the force of gravity is acting on it?
Free falling.

The motion of a body when only force of gravity is acting on the body?
When only the force of gravity is acting on a body, the body will experience a downwards acceleration towards the center of the Earth. This causes the body to fall freely, following a parabolic path known as projectile motion. The body's velocity increases as it falls until an external force, such as air resistance, counteracts gravity.
Are the directions of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body they same?
Yes, as long as gravity is the only force acting on the body.
What force acts on a object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.

What is the given name for the force of gravity acting on you?
It is your weight, which manifests as a downward force exerted by your body, although it is also an acceleration to a greater force if you fall.
What will be done if the acceleration of the body greater then gravitational energy?
If the acceleration of a body is greater than the acceleration due to gravity, the body will start moving upward against the force of gravity. It may continue to accelerate if the net force acting on the body is greater than the force of gravity.
