Question

What does gravity cause?

Answer 1

"Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other, the force that causes apples to fall toward the ground and the planets to orbit the sun. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull."

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A:

For a body affected only by gravitational forces its acceleration is directly proportional to the gravitational force divided by its mass. Now, given an initial position and velocity one can then calculate the subsequent positions and velocities at later times by integrating the acceleration.

So in a sense, gravity directly causes acceleration and indirectly affects position and speed.
