Presentation Transcript

  1. Get out your reading guide but DO NOT turn it in • Go over reading guide • Gravity Notes • Weight and Mass Calculations • Homework: Weight Worksheet • What is gravity? Agenda AQOD

  2. Gravity

  3. Gravity • What is it?

  4. Gravity • Gravity is the attractive force between any two objects that have mass. • depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them. • Increases as mass increases or as the objects get closer.

  5. Gravity • depends on • the masses of the objects • the distance between them. • Increases as mass increases or as the objects get closer.

  6. Earth’s gravitational acceleration • If you dropped a book and a piece of paper at the same time which would hit the ground first? • Take out air resistance. Now what?

  7. Acceleration on earth due to gravity • Force of gravity on a falling object can be calculated with 2nd law equation • Fg = weight = mg • g = 9.8 m/s2 (On earth) • What about on Jupiter?

  8. Gravity on other planets

  9. Mass vs Weight • The amount of matter an object contains • Will NOT change if you visit another planet • Measured in kg • Gravitational force exerted on an object • Will change if you visit another planet, because the acceleration due to gravity changes • Measured in N MASS WEIGHT

  10. Weightlessness & Free Fall • Parabolic Dive Video

  11. “Weightlessness” on the Space Shuttle… • Objects seem weightless (float around) on the space shuttle because they are in orbit with the space shuttle. • In other words, objects are in free fall…falling AROUND the Earth rather than downward toward it.
