By converting all mass and force values to these units, it’s simple to plug the values into the the equation F = mg and solve for the unknown. In doing so, we find that these values are essentially the same under normal Earth gravity. However, keep in mind that presenting a scientist...
This is possible, because nature has chosen the law of gravity to be as simple as possible. We will see that basically gravity tends to shrink volumes. We explain in detail how exactly this fits in with the theory of special relativity. However, mass does not only create gravity, via the...
The force of gravity causes objects near Earth's surface to fall with constant acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared unless air resistance is substantial. Keep in mind that the integral of acceleration over time will yield velocity. Multiply the length of time the object has been falling...
How Mass Creates GravityHow does mass bend space-time? That is to say: how does mass create gravity? The answer is the famous Einstein equation of gravity. We explain it in plain language. This is possible, because nature hadoi:10.1007/978-3-319-17891-2_7Kurt Fischer...
the force points in a different direction. When an object slides down a slope, for instance, gravity acts straight downward, but the object moves at an angle. The effective force on the object is a vector quantity related to but separate from the original force. The two vectors are related...
A few intrepid stargazers turned their attention to galactic clusters – knots of galaxies (as few as 50 and as many as thousands) bound together by gravity – hoping to find pools of hot gas that had previously gone undetected and that might account for the mass being attributed to dark ...
To launch, the pilot must run down a slope to get air moving across the wing at about 15 to 25 miles per hour (24 to 40 kph). This movement of air over the surface of the wing generates lift, the force that counters gravity and keeps the glider aloft. Once aloft, gravity (the we...
It is the downward force of gravity that makes this thermometer work. The basic idea is that as the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, so does the temperature of the water surrounding the bubbles. As the temperature of the water changes, it either expands or contracts, ...

In his experiments with gravity, Isaac Newton showed how the motion of each planet in the solar system results from the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and of all the other planets, each contributing according to their mass and distance from the others. 选项: A、of all the other plan...
