Gravity
What is gravity?

Gravity
Gravity is a force between ALL objects!

Gravity
The size of the force depends on the mass of the objects. The bigger they are, the bigger the force!
Small attractive force
Bigger attractive force

Gravity
The size of the force also depends on the distance between the objects.

Gravity
We only really notice the gravitational attraction to big objects!
Hola! ¿Como estas?

Gravity
The force of gravity on something is called its weight. Because it is a force it is measured in Newtons.

Gravity
On the earth, Mrs. Metcalfe’s weight is around 600 N.
600N
I love Earth Science!

Gravity
On the moon, her weight is around 61 N.
Why?
61 N

Gravity
In deep space, far away from any planets or stars her weight is almost zero. (she is weightless). Why?
Cool!

Mass
Mass is a measure of the amount of material an object is made of. It is measured in kilograms.
![Page 14: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mass
If a man has a mass of around 77kg. This means he is made of 77kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kg
![Page 15: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mass
On the moon, the man hasn’t changed (he’s still a man!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kg

Gravity
In deep space, the same man still hasn’t changed (he’s still a man!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kgI feel sick!
![Page 17: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mass and weight
Mass is a measure of the amount of material an object is made of. It is measured in kilograms.
Weight is the force of gravity on an object. It is measured in Newtons.
![Page 18: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Calculating weight
The force of gravity on one kilogram is called the gravitational field strength. It s measured in Newtons per kilogram (N/kg)
![Page 19: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Calculating weight
To calculate the weight of an object you multiply the object’s mass by the gravitational field strength wherever you are.
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
![Page 20: Gravity, Mass and Weight. True or false? If the earth stopped spinning we would float into space. There is no gravity on the moon. NASA have an anti-gravity](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140672550346ec488b4b92/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example
The gravitational field strength on earth is around 10 N/kg. What is your weight if your mass is 45 kg?
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Weight (N) = 45 kg x 10 N/kg
Weight = 450 N
