A second factor is... One factor is... Name: Ashley perales Period: 2 nd Gravity Force Simulation Directions : Use the “Gravity Force Simulation” to explore gravity. Record some observations below: Identify two ways you can change the amount of force (gravity) the objects experience. How could you increase gravitational force using each factor? How could you decrease gravitational force using each factor? Complete the chart for each scenario below. Mass of 1 Location of 1 Mass of 2 Location of 2 Force (1 on 2) Force (2 on 1) 25 kg 3 m 25 kg 7 m 2.74 2.74 25 kg 1 m 25 kg 9 m 6.68 6.68 100 kg 1 m 100 kg 9 m 1.04 1.04 100 kg 1 m 1 kg 9 m 1.04 1.04 distance mass
Summarize: Determine whether each statement about gravity is true or false. True The force of gravity increases as objects move closer together. True The force of gravity increases as an object’s mass increases. False If two objects have different masses, the more massive object pulls with a greater force. Apply : The earth’s gravity is pulling on you. Are you pulling on the earth? Explain your reasoning. No, because the gravity is pulling on me Gravity is a force of attraction between objects based on their mass and their distance apart. Why aren’t other objects, like your pencil, being pulled towards you? Explain your reasoning. The lighter the mass the less it will pull towards you
