Mt. EverestWhere is your source of gravity?
TheCenter
Of Earth Are you closer or
farther from the center of gravity
than in Medfield?
Medfield
Mt Everest
Farther
Is the pull of gravity STRONGER or weaker than in
Medfield?
weakerWhat happens to
my weight? WHY?
DECREASES, due to the larger distance from the source of
gravity
What happens to my mass? WHY?
NOTHING!Stays the
Same!
Has my inertia changed? WHY?
NO!Your mass
hasn’t changed!
Mariana TrenchWhere is your
source of gravity?
TheCenter
Of Earth
Are you closer or farther from the center of gravity
than in Medfield?
MedfieldMariana Trench
Closer
Is the pull of gravity STRONGER or weaker than in
Medfield?
STRONGERWhat happens to
my weight? WHY?
INCREASES, to smaller distance from source of
gravity
What happens to my mass? WHY?
NOTHING!Stays the
Same!
Has my inertia changed? WHY?
NO!Your mass
hasn’t changed!
MoonWhere is your source of gravity?
TheCenter Of the Moon
What has more mass – Earth or
the Moon?
Earth!What is the relationship
between MASS and Gravitational Pull?
More Mass = More
Gravitational Pull
What happens to my weight?
WHY?
DECREASES, due to weaker
source of gravity
What happens to my mass? WHY?
NOTHING!Stays the
Same!Which place has a STRONGER
gravitational pull? WHY?
Earth!
JupiterWhere is your source of gravity?
The
Center
Of
Jupiter
What has more mass – Earth or
Jupiter?
Jupiter!
What is the relationship
between MASS and Gravitational Pull?

Between mass and weight which
remains constant (if no matter is added
or taken)?
Between mass and weight which
remains constant (if no matter is added
or taken)?
MASS, because the amount of matter does not change
according to location.
