All of the factors mentioned - gravity, vaginal acidity, and current of fluid from the cervix - can prevent sperm cells from traveling the entire distance to the egg. Gravity can cause sperm to move in the wrong direction, while vaginal acidity can kill or impair sperm cells. The current of fluid from the cervix can also hinder the movement of sperm towards the egg.
