Gravity speeds things up?

In: Physics, Earth Sciences, Gravity [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes; gravity is a constant force. It never loses its ability to "pull." A human being pulling a wagon on a rope would eventually not be able to run any faster. But gravity isn't like that. It's a constant energy, and can keep pulling faster, no matter how fast it is already pulling.
