How can you make gravity smaller and bigger

You can increase the forces of gravity between you and,
let's say, a planet, in two ways.

Way #1:
Increase your mass. 
(Eat or drink more.
Fill your pockets with rocks.
Put on a heavy coat or space suit.)

Way #2:
Get closer to the center of the planet.
(That only works down to the planet's surface, but
it stops working if you go below the surface.)

To decrease the forces of gravity, do exactly the opposite:
-- lose weight
-- get farther away from the object that gravity is attracting you to .

Also, don't forget: 
The forces of gravity always work both ways. 
The less the planet pulls on you, the less you pull on the planet.
The harder the planet pulls on you, the harder you pull on the planet.

The force of gravity = GMm / r^2, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of one object, m is mass of another object, r is distance between them.

To make gravity smaller, decrease mass or increase distance.
To make gravity bigger, increase mass or decrease distance.

The water skier has a mass of 73 kg. Find the magnitude of the
Papessa [141]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, specifically the concept of acceleration as a function of speed and time, as well as Newton's second law.

PART A) Acceleration can be described as changing the speed in a period of time therefore,

a = \frac{V}{t}\\a = \frac{11}{8}\\a = 1.375m/s^2

Force is the proportional change between mass and acceleration therefore

F = (73)(1.375)

F= 100.375N

PART B) We will apply the same concept given but now we will change the time to 21s therefore:

a = \frac{V}{t}\\a = \frac{11}{21}\\a = 0.5238

Now the force

F = (73)(0.5238)

F = 38.23N

Downward force of magnitude 5 N isexerted on the book by the force ofthetablegravityinertia .
mylen [45]

Downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of <em>gravity</em>.  We call that the "weight" of the book.

At the same time, upward force of 5 N is exerted on the book by the table.  This one is called the "normal force".

Since the vertical forces on the book are 'balanced' (add up to zero), the book just lays there on the table, and does not accelerate.
