There is no opposite to gravity, although the theoretical force would be antigravity.

Friction only opposes gravity as air resistance, where molecular collisions impede acceleration and can produce a maximum or terminal velocity.

Does a gas have a opposite gravity?

No, gases do not have an opposite gravity. Gravity affects all matter, including gases, by pulling them towards the center of mass of a celestial body like a planet. So, gases are also subject to gravity just like solids and liquids.


Is friction the speed of an object?

Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object as it moves across a surface. It is not the speed of an object, but rather a force that acts opposite to the direction of motion, slowing down the object.


Which force causes a wagon to speed up as it rolls down a hill friction gravity mass normal?

Gravity is the force that causes a wagon to speed up as it rolls down a hill. Gravity pulls the wagon towards the center of the Earth, causing it to accelerate downhill. Friction and normal forces act in the opposite direction but do not cause the wagon to speed up in this scenario.


What are forces acting in opposite directions?

Some examples of forces acting in opposite directions include tension and gravity on a hanging object, friction and applied force on a sliding object, and thrust and drag on an airplane in flight.


Are there forces acting on the pen if yes draw the forces use the arrow to represent these forces?

Yes, there are several forces acting on the pen, including gravity pulling it downward, the normal force pushing it up (equal to the force of gravity but in the opposite direction), and potentially friction from the surface it is resting on. These forces can be represented by arrows pointing in the appropriate directions: gravity pointing downward, normal force pointing upward, and friction pointing opposite to the direction of motion.

How do you apply friction?

Friction acts in the opposite direction that the object is moving or trying to move. The force of friction is calculated by multiplying the normal force of the object, usually mass times gravity, by the coefficient of friction.

Is tis correct the force of gravity keeps Earth in its orbit or is it friction not gravity?

Friction has 100% nothing to do this the Earths orbit, its gravity and inertia.


How does friction and gravity affect your skill when bowling?

Friction and gravity affect your score, but not your skill.'Skill' is your ability to account for the effects of friction and gravity,while you plan the eventual outcome that you want to achieve.

Who would win in a fight between the physical embodiments of gravity and friction?

Gravity, friction lacks the shear power that gravity has and wouldn't stand a chance.
