Why do things on earth not get pulled?
Consider the earth’s gravitational pull (or force) as a constant, g. Now, when we lift an object (lets say a box), we are applying force upwards, F, away from the gravitational pull. So, in actual fact, what we are seeing when we lift the box is that the force that we apply is greater than the gravitational force of the earth (F > g) In other words, we’re stronger that gravity when we lift an object (: Sure, the objects that we lift are being pulled by gravitational force, but the force that we apply to lift the object is larger than the pull.
