β 12y agoWell, it's true that the gravitational force acting on the box acts in the direction
opposite to the direction of your lifting force, but there's nothing malicious or
contrary about it. In fact, the gravitational force was there before you came on
the scene, and as you lined up your lift, it was you who decided to oppose it.

False. Both objects will hit the ground at the same time, regardless of whether one is dropped vertically and the other is thrown horizontally, given that gravity is the only force acting on them.

this is false. the horizontal speed of the object has absolutely nothing to do with how long it takes to fall. if you fire a bullet on level ground it will hit the ground at the same time an apple would if you drop it from the same distance above the ground at the same time. the force of gravity is the same on everything on earth.
False. Gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of Earth.
One false statement about root-hairs is that they can sense gravity. It is a common misconception that gravity effects the direction of growth.
False. Both a crumpled piece of paper and a flat piece of paper fall at the same rate due to gravity acting on them. The shape of the paper does not affect the rate at which it falls.
False. Gravity does not give you mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, whereas gravity is a force that acts on objects with mass.
False. While gravity is weaker in outer space compared to that on Earth, it still exists. Gravity is what keeps objects in orbit around planets and stars, and even affects the interactions between celestial bodies in the universe.
