Science Summary: Gravity Pulls Objects
Makena Bergman

Science Summary

Gravity pulls objects to the ground anywhere on Earth. To begin, the gravitational pull of the Earth is the “attraction” that Earth exerts on an object or the object exerts on Earth. Gravity is a force. It forces things to drop or stay on the ground and not fly up into the air. The gravitational pull can be calculated by the mass of an object, the mass of the Earth, and the distance between the center of the Earth. Next, free fall is when objects are falling towards the ground. Therefore, an object that is in the air is always considered in free fall motion. A plane (when it is flying) is in free fall motion, but not in downward free fall motion. Finally, the less dense an object is, the

    During this laboratory exercise we attempted to show that the force of gravity has the same effect on all falling bodies near the earth. We intended to show this by dropping several objects in normal atmospheric conditions, and in a vacuum chamber. Our tests showed that while everyday experience may indicate that not all objects fall toward the earth at the same rate, they are submitted to the same force of gravity.…

    Mass and Bowling Ball

    Introduction: In physics, velocity is often defined as the speed. Gravity is the amount of force that acts upon an object. In this experiment, when one projects an object in the air, gravity acts upon the object causing it to come down. However, the answer that I am trying to discover is if the weight of the object affects the velocity of the object when it comes back to the surface of the earth.…

    Newton's First Law Of Motion Essay

    Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia, an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion, four forces on an aircraft; lift, weight, thrust, and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude, we can neglect the lift and weight, a cruising aircraft at constant speed and the thrust balances the drag of the aircraft. This is the first part sited in Newton’s First Law; there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line.…

    Essay On Newton's First Law Of Motion

    Even though the moon is in space the earth’s gravity is still acting upon it, so a person could say that the moon is falling towards the earth. The reason that the moon doesn’t literally fall to the earth is because the moon is traveling at a constant rate of speed, which has the tendency to travel in a straight line. There is a correlation between the amount of force that the earth’s gravity has on the moon, due to its distance, and the moon’s tendency to travel in a straight line. The moon is constantly changing direction as it orbits the earth in an elliptical pattern, even so, it constantly has the tendency to travel in a straight line. The earth’s gravity pulls the moon towards it, causing it to not travel in a constant direction. Therefore, as the moon is trying to travel a single direction, it is constantly being pulled towards the earth. Since the earth is a sphere the moon does not get any closer or further away as it wants to travel in a straight line while being pulled towards the earth. The illustrations below show this…

    The Gravity Journal Analysis

    An astounding read, the Gravity Journal was a tear-jerking novel about the mental battle fought by, young Anise. A 16 year old girl who views herself as fat and ugly, although she is skin and bones, and she also self-mutilates when her depression becomes overwhelming. She comes from a rich but very dysfunctional family; she never calls her parents by any name except "Loathed" for her mother and "Witless" for her father, and they seem to fit the nicknames perfectly. Her mother, interested only in her possessions and her own life, shows little concern for Anise's struggle, insisting that she stop the melodrama and take responsibility for the way she acts. "WE'RE not the ones with the problems," she tells the hospital therapist, in an off-hand…

    Science Acceleration Due to Gravity

    For this research investigation I have chosen to focus my study on physics as this is an area that I am very interested in. When presented with this task I found it very difficult to settle on a topic that addressed the criteria of the assessment correctly. With the assistance of my teacher I was shown an experiment that investigated the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth, and I have used this as the basis of my assessment.…
