of gravity?
See the video, figure out what their final conclusion is on what gravity is. Write it down after the video.
Slide 3 - Tekstslide
Slide 4 - Video
Attractive force between any two object with mass.
Slide 5 - Tekstslide
The difference between
mass and weight
Slide 6 - Tekstslide
Slide 7 - Tekstslide
Mass and weight
Mass
- How much matter something is made of
- does not change with location
- Measured in kg
Weight
- the force of gravity acting on a specific object
- Depends on the gravational field strength something is in
- Measured in newton
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
- all mass applies an attractive force on all other mass. The gravitational force.
- the strength of this attractive force depends on the amount of mass (in kg) and the distace.
- The more mass something is made of, the greater its gravitational force is on other masses.
The larger the distace the lesser the force of gravity.
- the amount of newtons a body of mass applies to other masses per kilogram is called its gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Gravitational force
Slide 9 - Tekstslide
Is the force experienced(in N) per unit mass by an object. And is measured in (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
Slide 10 - Tekstslide
The amount of newtons a body of mass applies to other masses per kilogram (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
For example:
The gravitational field strength on Earth is 10 N/kg. Means a mass of 1 kg experiences a force of 10 N.
The gravitational field strength on Jupiter is 23 N/kg
