Q:
What are the effects of gravity on the motion of objects in the air?
A:
Gravity pulls everything down to Earth, with no exception. Everything you see flying in the sky is being acted on by gravity. However, flying objects counter this downward pull by producing lift and using thrust to keep moving so that weight is no longer the strongest force acting on them.
