   What is a force of gravity?

   • The force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself. By definition, this is the weight of the object. All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed "downward" towards the center of the earth.

   What is a force in physics?

   • Explain. A force is a push or pull that acts upon an object as a result of that objects interactions with its surroundings. In this Lesson, The Physics Classroom differentiates between the various types of forces that an object could encounter. Some extra attention is given to the topic of friction and weight.

   How do you support a heavy object?

   • Weight (also called force of gravity) is a pervasive force that acts at all times and must be counteracted to keep an object from falling. You definitely notice that you must support the weight of a heavy object by pushing up on it when you hold it stationary, as illustrated in Figure (a).

   What happens if an object falls without air resistance or friction?

   • For the ideal situations of these first few chapters, an object falling without air resistance or friction is defined to be in free-fall. The force of gravity causes objects to fall toward the center of Earth. The acceleration of free-falling objects is therefore called the acceleration due to gravity.

   What is acceleration due to gravity?

   • The force of gravity causes objects to fall toward the center of Earth. The acceleration of free-falling objects is therefore called the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is constant, which means we can apply the kinematics equations to any falling object where air resistance and friction are negligible.

   Can a normal force be less than the object's weight?

   • The normal force can be less than the object’s weight if the object is on an incline, as you will see in the next example. In this section we have introduced the quantity normal force, which is represented by the variable N. This should not be confused with the symbol for the newton, which is also represented by the letter N.
