Gravity is the force which pulls anything (even us humans) towards the centre of the earth. This makes objects, such as apples, fall to the ground when you drop them!

What is the effect of gravity on velocity?

Gravity affects velocity by changing the acceleration of an object. As an object falls, gravity accelerates it, increasing its velocity. Without gravity, an object would move at a constant velocity.


What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?

Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (on Earth). This acceleration due to gravity increases the speed of the object as it falls towards the ground.


What effect do gravity have on a moving object?

All objects attract one another (exert an attractive force), due to gravity. The effect of any force, including gravity - if there is no force opposing it - is to accelerate the object (i.e., change its velocity).

Does the force of gravity effect the lifted object?

The question seems, well, awkward. But I will attempt it. If you are asking if gravity still has an effect on a lifted object, than yes. This is why that object will fall to the ground when dropped or from the object lifting it. Gravity always has an attractive force on every object in the universe. Any 2 objects that contain matter attract each other. You are attracted to your computer. Now, why doesn't the computer fly towards you? This is because gravity's effect is very, very weak. The more mass an object has, and the closer that object is, the more gravity has an effect. That is why it takes objects the size of moons, planets, and stars to have a noticeable effect on other objects. Gravitational pull on Earth: 9.8 Newtons Gravity of Earth's moon: 1.6 Newtons

What is the effect of gravity on the weight of an object when a person is standing upright?

When a person is standing upright, gravity pulls the person and the object they are holding towards the Earth. This causes the weight of the object to increase due to the force of gravity acting on it.


What affect does earths gravity have upon a object entering earth?

In general, it will have the effect of speeding such an object up.


How does gravity affect an object moving horizontally?

Gravity has no effect on an object moving horizontally at a constant speed unless the object is falling downward due to gravity. In that case, gravity will accelerate the object downward while it continues to move horizontally.


What effects the speed of a object?

Speed is relative to the speed of light and gravity. So gravity could effect speed.


What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object taken to a planet with twice the gravity on earth?

the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change
