Free Fall   On earth   Increases in speed by 9.8 m/s for every second   Distance can also be determined      d = 1/2at2        a is the acceleration due to gravity                              t is time

Gravity and Air Resistance

all object will fall at the same rate of acceleration regarless of their mass

 

Elephant and the Mouse

the elephant has a mass of 1000 kg and a weight of 10,00 Newtons.   if we plug in this information and solve for the acceleration due to gravity   net force 10,000 N   mass  1000 kg   we find that the acceleration rate is 10 m/s/s   the mouse has a mass of 1 kg and a weight of 10 N if we plug in this information and solve for the acceleration due to gravity   net force 10 N   mass 1 kg   we find that the acceleration rate is also 10 m/s/s

 

Gravity between objects
 

There is an attraction between objects-  like the earth and the moon  depend of masses of the two objects and the distance between them  mass 1  earth  mass 2  moon  distance between them           m1m2             d2
