Gravity
One of the four fundamental interactions, gravity is responsible for the fact that any objects with mass attract one another. According to general relativity, it is a space time curvature, but according to quantum mechanics it is the result of exchanges of virtual gravitons.

Can you alter the higgs boson field to alter mass?
i thank through my research that a higgs field would seemingly allow alterations to get a net 0 mass but since time would also be locally effected you would need to travel at a speed to counteract the resulting "speed increase" of time thus allowing FTL travel without any net time dilation... the only problem is that you would need to manipulate materials on the quantum level in real time to avoid any crew from ageing before you get into orbit... :P please correct me if i'm wrong anywhere
i need a second opinion :)
What is the relationship between the suns gravitational pull and the distance from the sun?
The relationship between the sun's gravitational pull and the distance from the sun varies according to the square of the distance. Mercury is an exception. The theory of relativity becomes involved as well as Newton's law of gravitation. We will not go into that.
Which two basic forces are able to provide an attractive force between two neutrons?
- strong nuclear force
- weak nuclear force
- gravity - however this is too weak to be worth considering inside the nucleus
Is Jupiter's gravity stronger then Earth's?
No. The gravity of Jupiter more than twice as strong as that on Earth.
What effect does gravity have on bridges?
The primary effect of gravity on a bridge is that it keeps it "in place" in the wind. The massive weight of the bridge is a key part of its structure and of its structural integrity. Certainly gravity acts to "pull the bridge down" in effect, but we use that to stabilize the structure, turning a "negative" into a "positive" in that light. Gravity transfers forces to the structures that support the bridge, and, in the case of (most) suspension bridges, hold the ends of the main cables to the massive blocks set to maintain the tension of those cables.
The great English scientist Sir Isaac Newton!
How does gravity affect Earth's water?
The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves.
The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.
Why did some people criticize newtons law of gravity?
Leibniz criticized Newton as his theory of gravitation did not identify the source of the interaction between bodies. Newton's idea of an invisible force able to act over vast distances was seen to be introducing "occult agencies" into science. Leibniz preferred his own theory of spinning vortexes in a swirling invisible fluid surrounding the planets as the source of the impact.
What are not true statements about gravity?
Here are FALSE made up statements about gravity.
Gravity is what keeps our teeth from chattering all the time.
Gravity changes if you are standing on your head.
You will experience 20% more gravity when you jump up and down, such as in jumping jacks or jumping rope.
Gravity keeps a bike and biker from falling during a trick ride onto an elevated point and across an expanse over to another elevated point.
Gravity makes thin people thinner, but ironically, makes it harder for overweight people to exercise.
A politician, Mr. Graves, identified gravity.
Governments use Gravity Think Tanks to develop ways that gravity will continue uninterrupted for the next 300 eons.
Gravity is made up of two primary chemicals: BEon or OFFon. It needs 75% more BEon that OFFon to keep every human on earth walking upright ON the planet.
Of all these statements, the only true one is.... these are all false.
What is the specific gravity of E10 blended unleaded gasoline?
It ranges from .70 to .78 specific gravity.
a wagon that you use to haul grain, that has a sloped wall on one side. The grain can be emptied by gravity by opening a side door.
How does gravity affect motions in softball?
well pitching they help! depending on what pitch your throwing! especially a drop ball because gravity wants to pull it down anyway! and the air resitance makes other pitches move!
How many Gs does a human take in an F1 race car?
Well the red bulls reach 5 g's in turkey so I would say 5 at the most
What is the Specific gravity of premium gasoline?
The gravity of gasoline at 60 degrees is 0.739. Regular and premium have the same gravity.
How do you remove the hairs from a tennis ball?
Packing tape will remove hairs from pretty much anything! Here is more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * Try a lint roller, which you can pick up in the checkout aisle of most gorcery stores.
What is Mercury Gravity compared to earth?
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mercury is 3.697 meters/sec2 .
The corresponding value on earth is 9.807 m/s2 .
The acceleration and force of gravity on Mercury are 37.7% of their values on earth.
A person who weighs 100 pounds on earth would weigh 37.7 pounds on Mercury.
Gravity isn't created, it is a fact of nature - all masses attract, if one or more masses are vast, such as earth or another planet, the attraction is similarly vast. The reason why masses attract is not understood but an understanding is part of on-going fundamental nuclear physics research.
Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to
be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work
the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the
strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
