The simple answer is yes, but don't forget the water has a "force" pushing you up. If you want the truth, gravity isn't a force.

Is there any difference in the strength of the force of gravity on land compared to in water?

The force of gravity on the same on land and water.However, in water, there is an upward force of buoyancy which acts in an opposite direction to the force of gravity. Hence, in water, the total net force downward is lower.


Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?

No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.


Is there any distance at which the gravitational force between two electrons is greater than the electric force between them?

No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.


Are objects lighter in water than in air?

They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.


Why does the moon keep the same hemisphere facing earth because the gravitational force is equal to the centrifugal force?

The moon keeps the same hemisphere facing Earth because the gravitational force between the two is equal to the centrifugal force, causing the moon to stay in a stable position.

Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?

No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.


Is gravitational force same for every body?

no, because gravitational force depents on the object's weight.

Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?

No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.
