How come gravitational force is the weakest force in nature and if it is the weakest , then why we humans are not flying over the sky as it happens in space?

Solution

Gravitational force is the weakest of all forces but when masses are very large like that of earth or sun this force increases enormously. Therefore the gravity is effective enough to attract objects.

Out of four basic forces in nature which one is strongest and weakest ? Why?

We saw in Newton's laws of motion that if we apply an external unbalanced force on a ball,it will move and also will come to a stop because of gravitational pull and also frictional force. If we do the same thing in space,will the ball come to a stop?

Because,in space there is no frictional force and no gravitational pull,so will it come to stop?
