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, Pixie Lott, Coldplay, 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 . 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?.
