Gravity is a pair of forces between masses. The strength of the forces depends

on the masses of the masses and the distance between them. It doesn't depend

on their motion, except that it may be getting larger or smaller over time if they're

moving closer together or farther apart.

What is An object moving in a curved path affected only by gravity is called a?

An object moving in a curved path affected only by gravity is called a projectile.


Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?

No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.


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 means moving?

it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.


What force can cause an object to start moving also stop moving?

Gravity


What is the weight of a moving object?

It's(the object's mass) multiplied by (the acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is).


Is it necessary for the centre gravity to be situated inside the body of irregular shape?

No, the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object does not have to be located inside the object. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the object is concentrated, and it can be located both inside and outside the object depending on its shape and distribution of mass.


Which gravity speeds up a moving object?

Gravity will speed up a force if gravity acts in the same direction as the object is already moving - for example, if the object is already moving downward - and if counterforces (such as air resistance) don't interfere too much.


What does moving object mean?

it means an object is moving based on the force of friction and gravity.


How can potential energy be changed by gravity?

Potential energy can be changed by gravity when an object is lifted or lowered in a gravitational field. Moving an object against gravity increases its potential energy, while moving it with gravity decreases its potential energy. The gravitational force acting on the object determines the amount of potential energy it possesses.


What object was tends to keep a moving object continuing in a straight line and a stationary object in place?

gravity is the correct answer


Does gravity determine the speed and direction of a moving object?

No. The ball in a roulette wheel, a baseball, and a golf-ball are all moving andall under the influence of gravity, but all executing very different patterns ofspeed and direction.
