How to use gravity in a sentence?

1. Eric Fehrnstrom:

   Trump has been declared dead so many times that he must feel like Huck Finn at his own funeral, the fact is, he's not going away. He defies the normal political laws of gravity.

2. Karen Kasich:

   If I throw a ball up in the air, the laws of gravity don't immediately have it come down. The laws of gravity mean at some point it will come down, but look, he's touched a nerve that I talked about in the very first debate. People feel like they don't have much say. They think that the rich and the special interests get everything they want. And I acknowledge that. And I tell people that, you know, I've been the antidote to that most of my lifetime.

3. Karen Richon:

   Think about throwing a ball straight up in the air, as hard as you can ; it starts out very fast, but slows down as gravity pulls it back towards Earth, eventually stopping at its peak and then returning to the ground, just like the ball, James Webb is slowing down, and, if we allowed it, would eventually stop and fall back towards Earth.

4. Kerry Sieh:

   There have been many, many attempts to find the impact site and many suggestions, ranging from northern Cambodia, to central Laos, and even southern China, and from eastern Thailand to offshore Vietnam, but our study is the first to put together so many lines of evidence, ranging from the chemical nature of the tektites to their physical characteristics, and from gravity measurements to measurements of the age of lavas that could bury the crater.

5. Ben Emmerson:

   It is now time to take action. The individuals responsible for the criminal conspiracy revealed in today's report must be brought to justice, and must face criminal penalties commensurate with the gravity of their crimes.
