What is the force that acts against gravity?

The force that acts against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface supporting an object, pushing upwards to prevent the object from falling due to gravity.


What force acts against capillary action as water moves through the ground?

Gravity


What force acts against upthrust?

The force that acts against upthrust is gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward, opposing the buoyant force provided by upthrust.


Against what other force does buoyancy act?

Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.


What is the force that acts against the force of buoyancy?

The force that acts against the force of buoyancy is gravity. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in the fluid. Gravity, on the other hand, pulls objects downwards.


What force acts against other forces?

Buoyancy is the power to float or rise in a liquid and it acts against the force of gravity.


What force acts aainst capillary action as water moves through the ground?

Gravitational force acts against capillary action as water moves through the ground, causing it to flow downwards and away from the surface due to gravity pulling it in that direction.


What is the force that acts in an upward direction against the force of gravity so it makes an object lighter?

The force that acts in an upward direction to counteract the force of gravity and make an object feel lighter is called buoyancy. This force is exerted by a fluid (such as air or water) on an object immersed in it, pushing the object in the opposite direction of gravity.


Which force pulls you down when you are in water?

The force of gravity pulls you down when you are in water, just like when you are on land. The buoyant force from the water also acts on your body, helping to keep you afloat.


When is work said to be done against the force of gravity?

All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.


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.


What is the direction of the force of gravity?

The force of gravity acts towards the center of mass of the object in question.
