Isaac newton began thinking about gravity after witnessing an apple fall from a tree, which led him to question why objects are pulled towards the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
How is force affected by gravity?
Force is affected by gravity in that objects experience a force due to gravity pulling them toward the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is proportional to an object's mass, so objects with greater mass experience a greater gravitational force. This force of gravity can affect the motion of objects, such as causing objects to fall towards the ground.
Why can't you feel gravity?
This is a very good question! You might be fooled into thinking that the only thing we feel if we walk around is the normal force pushing upwards against our feet, but this is because we are so used to feeling the effect of gravity (because it is almost never absent) that we are not consciously aware of it. You can check this by going into a rollercoaster or a fun fare attraction where there is a drop in free fall or even on a swing. In such situations you might feel a soft tingling in your stomach as your organs adjust to being in free fall. Being in free fall actually means you are no longer feeling the effects of gravity. This might sound strange, after all you are falling because of gravity! But it is true. In fact, it is the thing that prompted Albert Einstein to formulate his theory of gravity. And since we can feel the absence of gravity (the tingling of the stomach for example) we must also be able to feel gravity (or rather acceleration). It is just that we are so used to living with gravity and free fall situations are so rare that we think we do not feel gravity.
When gravity is the only force acting on an object is in?
You're probably thinking of "free fall".
What is affect the way gravity act on object?
The factors that affect the way gravity acts on an object include the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the source of gravity (such as the Earth). Objects with more mass experience a stronger gravitational force, while objects that are farther apart experience a weaker gravitational force.
What is the line called between gravity and no gravity?
The line where gravity becomes negligible or zero is typically referred to as the Karman line, which is located approximately 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level in Earth's atmosphere. Beyond this point, the effects of gravity are minimal, and objects experience microgravity or weightlessness.
Who is the most famous mathematician know for the laws of gravity?
Isaac Newton(1643-1727) is the man . The legend is that an apple fell on his head and prompted him to study gravity.
Who is the first person that experience gravity?
Anybody who lives on Earth experiences gravity.
Would gravity squash the person on Earth?
No. You experience Earth's gravity constantly.
Why does venus experience much more gravity than earth?
It doesn't Earth has more gravity.
How can gravity be simulated?
gravity can be simulated with the use of an advanced gravity simulator which uses acceleration to equal the weight of the body
What effect does distance have on gravity?
Gravity is governed by an "inverse square" relationship. This means gravity gets exponentially weaker the farther away you get. If I am 4 miles away from the center of the Earth, I will experience 1/16th the gravity that someone 1 mile away will experience. I am 4x farther away, but I get 16x less gravity.
Does an passenger on the International space station experience Earth's gravity?
no.
How is force affected by gravity?
Force is affected by gravity in that objects experience a force due to gravity pulling them toward the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is proportional to an object's mass, so objects with greater mass experience a greater gravitational force. This force of gravity can affect the motion of objects, such as causing objects to fall towards the ground.
How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?
Astronauts in space experience microgravity, where they are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth. This creates the sensation of weightlessness. They do not completely overcome gravity, but rather experience an environment where the effects of gravity are significantly reduced due to the spacecraft's orbital motion.
The force that makes a boat float?
The force that is at work is gravity. If you are thinking of bouyancy, it is not a force.

What is a gravity zone?
gravity zone is the area where gravity exists.
