no, gravity itself is not a balanced force. it is a natural cosmic force that pull down free falling objects with a force of 9.8N/m (newtons per meter). it can however cause balanced and unbalanced forces in the fact that if you, for example, hold a pencil by its middle, gravity is acting on both sides equally based on the surface area on both sides and is therefore balancing it in air. gravity can only cause an object to fall if the object is not already attached to a resisting force or object, such as an apple on a tree, or if it is not balanced equally, as in the pencil example

∙ 11y ago-- The force that exactly balances the force of gravity, so that you can remain
vertically motionless and not accelerate up or down, is the upward force of the
ground or the floor against your feet, or the upward force of the chair against
your bottom.
-- The force that exceeds the force of gravity, so that you can defy gravity,
ignore it completely, sneer at it, and literally accelerate upward against it, is the
force of your leg muscles, transmitted to the sole of your feet, that enables you
to jump into the air, or climb stairs. Or the force of your arm muscles that enables
you to lift a pastrami sandwich or a glass of seltzer, gingerly, vertically upward,
to slip the surly bonds of Earth and dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
totally free of the plate.

∙ 12y agoYes gravity forces and upthrust are balanced but if there was no moon then they would be less stable

How do balanced and unbalanced forces relate to a parachute?
If the parachutist is just falling down vertically, he is falling because of the unbalance force. Gravity is pulling him down. Gravity is stronger than the air resistance that is "keeping him up". The two unbalanced forces: gravity & air resistance. Because they are imbalance, he is accelerating towards the Earth's surface at 9.8 meters per second.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
Which is the force that pulls objects toward centre of the earth?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.Isaac Newton developed this concept.Gravity. The Earth has more mass than the object, it pulls it towards its' center.
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
What 2 forces pull on planet earth creating an orbital path around the sun?
Gravity and Inertia keep Earth in orbit
Does upthrust ONLY occur in water?
Nope. it occurs in other liquids and even things. like in the air. for example, when you throw a pen in the air, you will find things like... when you throw a pen, there is a push from the muscle and the gravity. The push from the muscle is greater in this occation so the pen goes up. And when it falls, there is nomore of the push from the muscle and there is an upthrust and gravity. (this is where upthrust works) the force of gravity is greater so it falls. Also, it is because of the upthrust that we are standing on the earth. There's an upthrust acting on us as well as the gravity. But ofcourse, as the gravity is stronger, we do not float up to the sky. but if there wasn't any upthrust, we would be sinking into the earth by now! Also upthrust acts on other liquids like oil and salt water.... whoa.. i wrote alot... hope it helped you!
Is there a difference between upthrust on the moon and the earth?
It will be affected by gravity. Gravity is stronger on Earth, so it takes more energy or thrust to raise something like a rocket.
Which force pulls everything down to earth?
The force that pushes downward on objects on earth is called gravity.
Earths magnetic field is not the cause of gravity?
No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.No. Those are two quite different forces. The Earth's gravity is caused by the amount of mass Earth has.
Is the moon pulled by the earth's gravity?
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
What forces make the moon orbit around earth?
gravity and inertia
Is earth perfectly balanced if not why is it not?
No, because of shifting masses on and within the earth and external gravitational forces.
What forces act upon a meteor as it falls toward Earth?
Forces of gravity ( gravitational force) pulls the meteor to earth
What are the forces that holds water on the surface of the earth?
Gravity... I think
What is one of the forces causing the Moon to orbit Earth?
Gravity
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
