Force of Gravity is the force with which the earth attracts bodies towards its center. It makes it possible for the bodies (mass) to stay firm on the surface of the earth. When we throw something upwards, it comes down as a result of the force of gravity.

Is gravity contact to force?

Gravity requires no direct contact, if that's what you mean.


When apple is falling the gravitational force is acting but why force of gravity is not acting here?

The terms "gravitational force" and "force of gravity" are interchangeable and both refer to the same force exerted on objects due to gravity. When an apple is falling, the force of gravity (gravitational force) is indeed acting on it, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth.


What is the difference between force of gravity and gravity?

By Gravity we mean the energy of Gravity E= - mGM/r = -mu/r. Force is the first derivative of energy so the force of Gravity is dE/dr = mu/r^2. Force is the first derivative for all kinds of energy.


Mass and the force of gravity have a direct relationship what does this mean?

This means that the force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. Objects with greater mass experience a stronger force of gravity pulling them towards the Earth.


What does 8Gs mean in science?

8 times the force of gravity.


What is the derived unit for gravity?

If you mean the gravitatioal field - other options are possible - units of acceleration are used for that. The force of gravity, of course, is expressed in units of force.


Do nebulae change gravity?

Not sure what you mean by "change gravity"; a nebula has mass, therefore it exerts a gravitational force.


How do the changes in mass and distance effect the force of gravity?

Bigger masses mean a bigger force of gravity. Bigger distances mean smaller forces. Mathematically, the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.


What does gravity mean in space?

"Gravity" is a force between any two objects. This specific force depends on the masses (more mass --> more force), and on the distance between the objects (more distance --> less force).


What is another word for force of the earth?

I believe is gravity. I mean is not only of the earth, every body of mass has gravity. But I believe that it is gravity if it was a general question. !


Does mass mean the same as gravity?

No, mass and gravity are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. Gravity is influenced by the mass of objects.


What do you get when you subtract the force of air resitance from the force of gravity?

First of all, gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. What you mean is the force of weight, which is the acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass (all forces are vectors, and gravity is not a vector.) When air resistance is subtracted from weight, you have the net force on a falling object (assuming those are the only forces acting on it.)
