2. AIM: What is force? Define and give examples of “force”. Define and give examples of gravity.

3. AIM: What is force? Force, Gravity inversely proportional directly proportional

4. AIM: What is force? When you go to a foreign country, why is it important to know the language? To Communicate Why would it be important to know the language of science? To Communicate

5. AIM: What is force? FORCE: Forces in nature are very basic. They are defined as a push or a pull. Force is usually measured in Newtons AS AN EXAMPLE …

6. Both Students are pushing in the same direction

7. Both Students are NOT pushing in the same direction

11. What is gravity? Gravity is the force of attraction between all objects in the universe. “Newton’s Law of Gravity” Practically speaking: Gravity is the natural attraction of all objects to the center of the earth.

12. There are two basic rules for the force of gravity

13. RULE #1: All objects have gravity BUT larger objects have more gravity then smaller objects Which would have more gravity, the earth or the moon? Why? Because it is larger !

14. Rule #2: The closer objects are to each other, the more gravitational attraction they have towards each other. Conversely, the force of gravity between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases. Summary: Gravity is function of size (mass) and distance

15. Summary: Gravity is function of size (mass) and distance

16. LET’S REVIEW: The larger the size of an object the ______ the gravity. More Graph that!
