Because there is a mutual force of gravitational attraction between every two material objects.

That means there's a force that draws any object and the earth toward each other.

Why do you fall off in space?

No gravity to weigh objects down


Why all objects above the surface of the earth that are left without support fall down?

Objects above the surface of the Earth fall down due to the force of gravity. Gravity is the natural force of attraction that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. Without a supporting force to counteract gravity, objects will fall towards the Earth's surface.

Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?

No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.


Why object fall to the ground?

Gravity pulls them down. Newtons Law of Gravity: what goes up must come down. objects fall to the ground because of gravity


Why do objects with more mass fall faster?

Objects with more mass have greater inertia, which means they are more resistant to changes in motion. Therefore, when objects fall, the force of gravity acting on them is unable to slow down the acceleration of more massive objects as much as it does for less massive ones, causing them to fall faster.


What is the acceleration due to force of gravity?

The force of gravity pulls down on all objects here on earth. If objects are allowed to fall, they accelerate downwards.


How do objects fall?

Objects fall as a result of the downward force of gravity.


What effect does no wind on moon have on falling objects?

The effect of the moon having no air on falling objects is that any thing that is dropped will fall at exactly the same speed regardless of how heavy it is. On earth a feather will fall slowly because friction with the air slows it down, on the moon it will fall like a piece of lead because there is no air to slow it down.


What force causes something to fall straight to the when it is dropped?

Gravity.


Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?

no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th
