After the diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?
No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.
What is the force that pulls that objects downward?
It is the earth's gravity.
Weight is measured as the downward force of?
gravity
What is the downward force of gravity?
The most usual downward force is the force of gravity; the weight of an object exerts force in a downward direction. There are also other forces which can be exerted in that direction. If you wanted to, you could fire a gun in a downward direction, in which case the explosive force of the gun is added to the force of gravity.
The downward pull on an object due to gravity?
This is weight.
What is the result of the combination of an objects forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
The result is friction.
How much distance from earth to defy gravity?
It is impossible to actually "defy" gravity. Even the Voyager spacecraft at over four billion miles from the earth experience some gravity from the earth. Satellites can orbit the earth at as low as 220 miles or less. They still fall toward the earth, but their forward speed carries them at an arc that matches the earth's surface.
due to the earths gravity a projectile flows a blank path?
Earth's gravity acts downward toward the center of Earth. ... The combination of intitial forward velocity and downward vertical force of gravity cause of projectile to follow a curved path. Force. A push or a pull that acts on an object.
After the diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?
No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.
How does the fore of gravity move things is it upward or downward?
downward
Result of the combination of an object's forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
The path that the object takes to either strike the ground or to orbit the body.
Which source of gravity is maintaining all four satellites around the earth?
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
When do you notice the force of gravity?
When there is that force that pulls downward. Example, when you climb a mountain. You will fell that there is that gravity pulling downward.
What is the force that pulls that objects downward?
It is the earth's gravity.
What aspect of the gas giants has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites?
The aspect of the gas giants that has the biggest effect on their rings and satellites is their gravity.
What can be defined as a root's downward growth as a response to gravity?
A root's downward growth as a response to gravity is called positive gravitropism or positive geotropism.
Is there gravity where satellites are at?
Yes there are enough gravitational forces to keep the satellites orbiting earth.
