Questions and Answers

How does gravity affect subatomic particles?

Gravity has no significant influence on subatomic particles.

Define gravity and its role in physics.

Gravity is a fundamental interaction that causes mutual attraction between all objects with mass. It is the most significant interaction at the macroscopic scale and determines the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light.

What is the role of gravity on Earth?

Gravity gives weight to physical objects on Earth.

What are the four fundamental interactions in physics and how does gravity compare to them?

<p>The four fundamental interactions in physics are strong interaction, electromagnetic force, weak interaction, and gravity. Gravity is the weakest of the four interactions, being approximately 1038 times weaker than the strong interaction, 1036 times weaker than the electromagnetic force, and 1029 times weaker than the weak interaction.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Gravity

  • Gravity is a fundamental interaction that causes mutual attraction between all things with mass.
  • It is the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, with a strength approximately:
  • 10^38 times weaker than the strong interaction
  • 10^36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force
  • 10^29 times weaker than the weak interaction
  • Due to its weakness, gravity has no significant influence at the subatomic level.

Gravity at the Macroscopic Scale

  • Gravity is the most significant interaction between objects at the macroscopic scale.
  • It determines the motion of:
  • Planets
  • Stars
  • Galaxies
  • Even light

Gravity on Earth

  • Gravity gives weight to physical objects on Earth.
  • The Moon's gravity is responsible for:
  • Sublunar tides in the oceans
  • The antipodal tide, caused by the inertia of the Earth and Moon orbiting each other

Biological Functions of Gravity

  • Gravity helps guide the growth of plants through gravitropism.
  • It influences the development of various biological processes.
