Document Summary

No force is required to keep an object moving with constant velocity. A net force must be applied to an object to produce an acceleration. The rate at which the velocity of an object changes with time. As an object falls, its velocity increases, and as it rises, the object"s velocity decreases. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the object. Your weight is the attractive force that the earth exerts on you (what makes things fall) A non-contact force: two people sitting next to each other have attractive forces towards one another (so little you can"t feel it or experience it) Sun"s gravity holds the solar system together and is a non-contact force. Force of gravity depends on two main things: how large the masses are, and how much distance is between them, or how far the objects are from one another.
