The force of gravity does not slow physical time, it changes its appearance. Earth's gravitational field is a field of physical time. The concept relating to this is part of the physics trilogy: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. The last is that for a field of physical time. This is due to mass having as the basis of its composition electromagnetic energy.
A mass within a gravitational field has time (energy) value change within the parameters of: a. strength of field. b. movement of field and that of mass, relative to speed of light. It is possible for a mass to directly convert into electromagnetic energy, thus all physical time values of that mass becoming zero. This is seen where a mass to be released below the 0.717 mile location from the center of our planet. It would exceed the speed of light in one second. In our sun, the distance is 400 miles from its center.

People have conducted experiments and this has been proven. This is stated in the Special Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein. The most common application of this theory is in GPS systems.

ya, speed retards time n increases length
time , length r not absolute n so is speed
as speed approaches that of light the time slows down n to balance the length increases

Use these Kinematics equations to solve your questions!
s = 1/2 (u + v) t
v = u + at
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
s = ut + 1/2 a t^2
and relate them to FORCE!
