Actually things usually do not stay upright when there is gravity, they usually fall over onto their sides.

For something to stay upright when there is gravity they need to have an active stabilization system using feedback to react to and correct for every time it begins to fall over.

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.


Is not a reason why gravity is not important to our lives?

Gravity is important in our lives as it keeps our feet on the ground, ensures objects stay in place, and helps us maintain balance. Without gravity, we would float aimlessly and struggle to perform everyday tasks such as walking, driving, and even standing upright.


How does gravity help you keep our food in our plate?

because since gravity makes things stay on a certain surface (ex. A keyboard on a computer table) it can make food stay on our plate.


Do gravity cause things to float?

No, gravity is responsible for pulling objects towards the center of the Earth. In order for things to float, they need to displace enough water or air to create an upward buoyant force that balances the downward gravitational force, allowing them to stay on the surface of the water or air.


Does gravity contribute to your weight and height?

Yes, the measurement of your weight certainly depends on gravity as weight is mass multiplied by gravity, w=mg. Therefore, on the moon you would weigh less as your mass would stay the same but the gravitational field strength is less. The affect of gravity on height is not so obvious, although a stronger gravitational pull would cause the spine to contract, altering a persons height by mere millimetres.

If the earth is round how do people on the opposite end to us stay upright?

Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, so people on the opposite side are also pulled towards the center and stay upright due to the balance of forces acting on their bodies.

Does gravity attract things towards the surface of the earth?

Gravity attracts things toward the core, or centre, of the Earth, that's how everything is able to stay on the surface.

What is always at the center of gravity?

The center of gravity is the point at which your gravity attracts others, and others are attracted to you. This makes it your point of balance since balance is relative to the center of gravity of the object you're balancing upon. A bike for example, has it's center of gravity at it's exact middle, and you have your center of gravity at your exact middle, and as long as you can keep all of them directly on top of each other as you ride, you'll stay upright.
