Is there a correlation between time and gravity?
The gravitational field is really a curving of space and time. The stronger the gravity, the more spacetime curves, and the slower time itself proceeds. Gravitational time dilation occurs whenever there is difference in the strength of gravity, no matter how small that difference is.
What would you predict would happen to the gravitational force between the two objects as the distance increased?
Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
What happens to the gravitational force of attraction between two objects if the distance between them is halved?
(3) When distance between objects is halved, force of attraction will become 1(12)2=114=4 times i.e. will become four times.
Why is gravity not so obvious in space?
The second reason that gravity is not so obvious in space is because objects tend to orbit planets instead of hitting them. Orbiting just means that an object falls towards a planet due to gravity and continually misses it. Because space is so large and planets are so small by comparison, it’s actually very hard to hit planets.
Why do objects fall in space but not on Earth?
If you answered that on Earth the objects fall due to gravity, but in space they don’t because there is no gravity, then I’m afraid your answer is far from the truth. Every nook and cranny of the universe is filled with myths and mysteries, and the absence of gravity in space is no exception.
What is gravity and how does it work?
How does gravity work in space? Gravity is a very important force. Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies.
Do Gravitational forces exist in space?
In space, gravitational forces do exist. Space has microgravity which is very weak gravitational force. Any object that has mass generates gravity, and gravity causes every object to pull every other object towards it.
