You don't specifically need a magnet to overcome the force of gravity; ANY force that is stronger than gravity can "overcome" it, at least temporarily. For example, if you lift an object up, you are "overcoming" the force of gravity.

How can you make a magnet levitate?
If you hold two magnets in your hand one below the other so that the north side of one magnet is facing north of the other and vice-versa, then place a metallic entity between these two magnets then it will appear to float provided distance between magnets and their force is equal.
Which best explains why magnets can push on or pull other magnets without touching them?
The force is very great and is able to travel through the air to find another source which relates to itanswers on ple.platoweb.com
Is gravity considered a contact force?
No. Gravity is able to operate just fine between the Earth and the Sun, without contact, and with 93 million miles of nothing in between.
If gravity pulls things down how come plans fly and not get puuled down?
Planes are able to fly against gravity by conquering it with another force. This force happens to be the lift created by the wings of the aircraft wihch allow it to fly.
What does gravity do to a kite?
Gravity is a strong force that pushes things to the ground. Unfortunately, some objects have a mass that is able to be pushed around by other forces, namely wind, and so in the case of a kite, wind takes over gravity, and flies the kite.
When an object is less dense than the liquid is in and is able to overcome the force of gravity?
Technically, nothing other than a rocket, or plane, or any flying vehicle, can overcome the force of gravity. Liquids and solids, have weight which gravity pulls down. Only gas will rise as the particles are too far from each other to create any form or liquid or solid, therefore it has no weight.

What are the 5 examples of gravity?
Gravity is a force which, as far as we have been able to determine, operates everywhere in the universe and is felt by everything that has mass, so I am not sure why you think that there are exactly five examples of gravity. There are limitless examples of the functioning of gravity, but there is only one force of gravity.

What forms interstellar gases condense due to gravity?
Any type of gas can do that. The only condition is that there be a sufficient amount of gas - otherwise, the gravity won't be able to overcome the pressure of the gas.
Is gravity considered a contact force?
No. Gravity is able to operate just fine between the Earth and the Sun, without contact, and with 93 million miles of nothing in between.
How are magnets attracted to another?
Magnets have both a north pole and a south pole. One of the laws of magnets is "like forces repel, unlike forces attract." So, if you bring the north pole of one magnet towards the south pole of another, there will be a strong attractive force between them. With very strong magnets, you may not be able to force two north poles together - they will just slide away.
What force makes the coilgun work?
the force of objects being attracted by magnets. the coils or solenoids act as magnets and the projectile (which must be able to attract to magnets, often iron or steel is used) is attracted to the coils. but when the projectile reaches the coil the coil must be turned off so the projectile keeps going instead of stopping at the coil.
How are magnets the same?
Magnets are able to attract magnetic objects.
What force pulls a tractor back?
friction and gravity , gravity keeps the tractor down so you can even be able to touch it . frictionhelps objects glide , be pushed
Are electricity and magnetism the same thing?
Electricity and magnetism are similar but yet different. They are both able to make a form of each other. If electricity charges are pulled at a great force they will be able to create a type of magnetic force. Magnets are able to produce forms of electricity when their pulls are changed.
