We do feel gravitational force if that force is not nullified by another force. But for an equal supporting force, we will be moving toward the center of earth and in that case, we will feel the gravitational force.

While lifting an object up , we feel the gravitational force.

==============================

Another thought:

We don't feel anything that is constant and never-changing.

We only feel things when they change.

Another example is: Velocity, or speed and direction of motion.

You can relax quite peacefully, and even nod off, in a passenger jet

cruising at 500 miles per hour, 7 miles above the ground. You're

reminded of your situation only when the aircraft turns, speeds up,

or slows down. (And not even so much in a bank and turn if they're

well coordinated.)

Another example: A modern, high-speed elevator (a lift).

You feel little or nothing during the high-speed 'cruise' portion

of the journey, but you become aware of the motion during the

acceleration phases, at the beginning and end of a long transfer.

We don't feel the gravitational force acting on us because we are in free fall towards the Earth due to gravity. Since everything around us, including the air we breathe, is falling along with us at the same rate, there is no sensation of being pulled or of weight.

What is The area where objects feel a gravitational force called?

The area where objects feel a gravitational force is called a gravitational field. This field is created by the presence of mass in space and determines the strength and direction of the force experienced by objects within it.


Why you couldn't feel the gravitational force and charges can feel the electrostatic force?

Gravitational force is much weaker than electrostatic force due to the difference in the strengths of the fundamental forces. Charged particles can feel the electrostatic force because they interact with electromagnetic fields, while gravitational force is primarily experienced between objects with mass. Additionally, charges can be positive or negative, allowing them to interact with other charges through attraction or repulsion.


When a person passes you on the street you do not feel a gravitational tug. Explain.?

You do not feel a gravitational tug from a person passing you on the street because the gravitational force between two people is extremely small compared to the force of gravity between us and the Earth. The force of gravity between two people is too weak to be noticeable in everyday situations.


Does an elephant has more gravitational force than a mouse?

No, the gravitational force experienced by an object is determined by its mass and the mass of the Earth, not its size. Both an elephant and a mouse feel the same gravitational pull towards the Earth.


Does weight change as gravitational force changes?

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as the gravitational force changes (for example, by moving to a location with different gravity), the weight of an object will also change. A person will weigh less on a planet with weaker gravitational force compared to a planet with stronger gravitational force.
