The force that resists gravity is called normal force. It is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.

Differentiate between force of gravity and force of friction?

F(gravity) pulls a movable object toward the center of mass (generally the Earth). F(friction) resists F(gravity) when the object is scraping against something that is solidly attached to the mass (Earth).


The mechanical force that resists gravity in the lifting of an object is?

The mechanical force that resists gravity in the lifting of an object is known as the normal force. This force is exerted by a surface in contact with the object and acts perpendicular to the surface to support the weight of the object.


What part of a bicycle resist a pulling force?

The pedals could be one but none thing really resists a pulling force because gravity is a pulling force that acts on everything that has weight.


Is friction the opposite of gravity?

There is no opposite to gravity, although the theoretical force would be antigravity.Friction only opposes gravity as air resistance, where molecular collisions impede acceleration and can produce a maximum or terminal velocity.


What is lift drag gravity and weight?

Lift is the force that pushes an object upwards, typically generated by wings in airplanes. Drag is the force that resists the forward motion of an object through a fluid like air or water. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, such as the force that keeps us grounded on Earth. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.


Is friction a type of gravity?

No, friction is not a type of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts two objects toward each other, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. Both are separate physical phenomena with different causes and effects.
