The force of gravity is down (and relatively constant unless you're throwing stuff into space), so the object accelerates down, so if the velocity is up, it slows down, eventually stops, and then speeds up going down.
This isn't a trick question--you have thrown a ball upward, right?

The force of gravity decreases, but negligibly unless you're Ryan mallett.
For the most part, the force of gravity doesn't change if you aren't using 8 decimal places.
The further you are from the center of the mass, the less gravity, so as you move away from the center of the Earth the gravity drops. But because the center of the Earth is so far away already, the slight change in distance hardly effects the force of gravity.

When power is applied to an object to cause it to move against Gravity ,it will move up to a certain point Where the initial Power that gave it the motion is less than the Gravity Power level of space. At that frame of reference the object will no longer have any upward motion and the pressure of Gravity will push it down to return it to its initial rest frame of reference.

the force of gravity acting on an object is called weight.
since Newton's second law F = ma, or in this case, weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
gravitational acceleration decreases as an object is further away from the Earth, as its gravitational field strength is weaker, so the Force (weight) acting on the object decreases
Hence, the higher the object, the less the force(weight) acting on it.

Gravity pulls stuff down. So if you throw something up, gravity is pulling iit down. Gravity is a term used to describe the fact that smaller bodies are atracted toward larger bodies. However, we do not know exactly why gravity works, only that it does. As far as we know. Science, eh?

for sure, the rigidity of gravity brings the article down ultimately through fact the gravity is directed in direction of the centre of the earth.once you throw the article upwards, there is rigidity utilized by using you on the article to bypass up and while this rigidity is composed of an end then the gravitational rigidity brings the article down.

The upward speed of the object decreases by about 10 meters per second, every second. The object gradually comes to a halt then its speed increases by about 10 meters per second, every second, in the downward direction.

It will lose velocity at a rate of 9.8 meters per second.
