    The document discusses the differences between mass and weight, and the effect of gravity. It explains that mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and stays the same wherever it is, while weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity and depends on both mass and the strength of gravity. Gravity exists throughout the universe and pulls objects toward centers of mass. The document provides examples to illustrate these concepts.

    Mass, weight & gravity

    We are working towards learning to:


    Understand the difference between weight and
    mass and the effect of gravity.
    Understand that gratvity exists throughout the
    Universe.

    W h at D o You K n ow ?
    1) What unit measures a force?
    2) What is the difference between an

    objects mass and an objects


    weight?
    3) What is gravity and what

    direction does gravity act?


    4) What unit do we measure gravity

    in?

    Keywords
    Gravity: Objects are attracted to each other.
    Kilograms: 1000g = 1Kg
    Mass: Measured in kilograms (Kg) and is the same
    throughout the entire universe.
    Weight: Mass x Gravity. Measured in Newtons (N)

    The effect of gravity


    Gravity is a force that pulls objects
    towards the center of the earth. Thats
    why youre feet are on the floor

    1 Draw an arrow at
    each of the four
    positions to show the
    direction of the force
    of gravity on the girl.
    2 At position A the
    girl is holding a ball
    suspended from a
    piece of string.
    Complete the diagram
    to show the position
    of the ball and string
    in locations B, C, and
    D.

    What is mass?
    Mass is different from weight!
    Mass is a measurement of how
    much of something there is.
    Mass is measured in grams
    and kilograms.

    Mass
    The amount of matter or "stuff" it contains. The
    more matter an object contains, the greater its
    mass.
    Example: An elephant contains more matter than a
    mouse, so it has a greater mass.

    Feather & Brick


    The feather weighs less than the brick but a tonne
    of feathers weighs the same as a tonne of bricks.
    There will be other students that have the same
    weight as you but you may be different heights and
    a different gender.
    Q) Which one would fall faster if dropped from
    the same height?

    Battle of the Brains


    Years ago an Italian scientist; Galileo thought that objects would
    fall at the same speed when dropped at the same height. He
    tested his method by dropping two cannon balls from the
    leaning tower of Pisa. The cannon balls were made of the same
    material but one weighed 10lbs and the other was 1lb.
    The Greek philosopher Aristotle thought
    that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects.
    WHO DO YOU BELIEVE WAS RIGHT?

    Youre
    wrong
    Galileo!

    Time to bust a myth!


    Watch the following video and see if
    youre theory was correct

    Galileo Vs.
    Aristotle

    So
    The myth-busters found out that in a
    normal atmosphere (on earth) air
    resistance slows down the fall of
    lighter objects.
    Heavier objects are able to overcome
    or beat the air resistance better than
    lighter objects.

    The mass of the PS3 console is: 3.2 Kg

    No matter where you are in this Universe,


    the Mass of an object will remain the same

    Weight a minute
    Weight is a measurement of force
    Force is always measured in Newtons (N)
    Weight (N) = Mass (Kg) X
    Acceleration of Gravity
    Whats my

    Mass = 1000Kg

    Weight
    Weight is a force and it is caused by the pull of
    gravity.
    Weight is measured in Newtons.

    Gravity

    Gravity acts towards the centre of objects


    Gravity is an invisible force that tries to bring
    objects together
    Gravity depends on two things: Mass and
    distance
    The bigger the mass of an object the
    stronger its gravity
    The further away an object is, the weaker
    the gravity acting on it

    Conclusion
    The drawings show the mass and weight of four
    objects on different planets

    a) On which of the four planets is the object with the


    largest mass?
    b)How can you tell, from the drawings, that gravity is
    greater on Earth than on Venus?
    c) How is an astronauts weight and mass different on
    the Moon and on the Earth
