just suck?

What do forces do?
Make things ---- move move faster move slower change directionalsochange shape

Big and Little forces
We can measure forces
Using a forcemeter

Which fruit ?

Gravity is a force
When gravity pulls something towards the Earth -
- we call this force the weight.

Forces are measured in
Newtons
Weight of an apple = about 1 Newton

ping pong ball falling
The arrow represents the force of gravity

The ball does not fall when your sucking force = force of gravity
straw
Suck

On the Moon – Apollo 15
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/image/featherdrop_sound.mov
A heavy geological hammer and a falcon feather were dropped from the same height.
They hit the lunar surface at the same time.

Hippo is still falling quickly
but not getting faster
How do we know?
Force of gravity
air resistance

How can we slow Hippo down?
What can you change?

Launching a satellite
The cannon ball must move very quickly to orbit the earth.
The Moon orbits the Earth

Very heavy boots- Why?
Answers? No gravity on the Moon Weightless on the Moon To stop them floating away They weigh very much less than on Earth To stop huge bounces The Moon’s gravity is very much less than
the Earth’s gravity

Weightless?
or are they?

apparently weightless(pictures or animation only –not a demonstration)

GRAVITY
Things fall
Things have weight
Things stay in place

No Gravity Would an apple fall? Would things stay on earth? What would happen?
What? Why? How?
keep asking questions
-like Newton !
