Flashcards: Direction of Gravitational Force

Which of the following statements about gravity is true?

Your answer:

Gravity can pull objects upward or downward depending on the kind of object.

Your answer:

Gravity does not work in water, or else boats and rafts would not float.

Your answer:

Gravity only works on some animals, like dogs and cats, but not on others, like birds and insects.

Correct answer:

Gravity pulls objects downward, as you can see from watching rain fall down from the sky.

Explanation:

Gravity on earth pulls objects downward toward the ground. Rain is a good example: the clouds don't "throw" the rain to the ground, but instead when there is so much water that it gets heavy for the cloud to hold, the water then falls to the ground because of gravity. Know that gravity does work on water: objects like rocks that cannot float are immediately pulled to the bottom. And gravity does work on birds (and planes, and other things that fly) - it's just that birds have the ability to work against gravity's pull by flapping their wings. But if they stop using their wings, gravity will pull them to the ground.

Which of the following statements is true?

Gravity sometimes pulls objects sideways, like when wind blows sand into the air.

Birds soar through the sky and fish float in the water, so gravity doesn't always work.

When I jump up in the air I always come down because of gravity.

Plants and trees grow upward, so they do not always obey gravity.

Your answer:

Correct answer:

When I jump up in the air I always come down because of gravity.

Explanation:

Gravity is a force that pulls objects downward, so when you jump up in the air you'll always come back down. Gravity doesn't mean that nothing can ever go up: trees can grow up into the sky, sand can blow into the air - but gravity keeps them from floating away.
