Or… Don’t let Gravity get you down . For the next clip, write down what you think is going through the person’s mind at the time. School appropriateness is crucial. . Also write down what you think might happen if gravity worked in a different way or if we were on a different planet. BEFORE

. What is going through his mind and what might this look like on a different planet or if gravity worked differently? . Remember… School appropriate  .Songs by John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, , , A Perfect Circle .9.8 m/s2 .Holds stuff down .A force that attracts objects together .Increases as the mass of the two objects increases .Decreases as the distance between the two objects increases . Newton discovered gravity . Its always the same . If you drop two objects from different places, they fall in parallel paths to the ground . The pull of planets and stars will affect the outcome of a persons life based on their position in the sky at the time of the individual’s birth . When we drop things they fall down . The Earth orbits around . The Sun moves around the Milky Way . Objects follow a trajectory when launched at an angle . Your atoms stick together . Newton’s Law of Universal Gravity . The nearer or more massive 2 objects are, the greater the force of gravity between them

2 . F=G*((m1*m2)/d ) . F is the force of attraction

. m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects . d is the distance between the objects . G is the gravitational constant . Not discovered by Sir Isaac Newton . Found by measuring the force in Newtons between two masses of 1 kg each, 1 meter apart . 0.00000000006667 N*m2/kg2 Or 6.667 x 10 -11 N*m2/kg2 . This is a very weak force . The crazy units make the end result come out in Newtons . How do you think this machine works?
