What is gravitational forces' and electromagnetic forces' energy source?Don't they violate conservation of energy?
Because they are forces, not energies. Energy is what is conserved.Originally posted by anand
Could you explain.What I meant was that why doesn't it ever get exausted?

I'm not sure I understand it either but objects can most certainly transfer energy between them.Originally posted by bdkeenan00
this sounds like a pretty good place to ask this question. I have been wondering for sometime now if energy could be some how transferred between the two interacting objects in a gravitational or electromagnetic field. What I know about the two tells me no but I just wanted to make sure.
P.S. what about the nuclear forces?

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects with mass. It is one of the fundamental forces of nature and is responsible for the motion of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies.
Gravitational force works by pulling objects with mass towards each other. The strength of this force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the mass of the objects, the stronger the force, and the greater the distance between them, the weaker the force.
The formula for calculating gravitational force is F = G x ((m1 x m2) / d^2), where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and d is the distance between them.
No, gravitational force and weight are not the same. Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, while gravitational force is the force that causes two objects to be attracted to each other.
Gravitational force plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. It keeps us grounded on Earth, allows objects to stay in orbit around the Earth, and determines the motion of the planets in our solar system. It also helps to shape the structure and movement of the universe as a whole.
