Gravity.: Isaac Newton Discovered Gravity. Planets Have Different Gravities. The Earth's Gravity Is 9,8 Newtons (9,8N)

Gravity is a non-contact force that pulls all masses towards each other's centers. It is only noticeable with large masses like planets. Gravity keeps objects on Earth from floating away and pulls everything on or near Earth towards its center. Planets have different levels of gravity, with Earth's being 9.8 Newtons. Isaac Newton discovered gravity while in quarantine for the plague in 1666 and also discovered the colors of rainbows through light reflection and refraction. Weight depends on an object's mass and the gravity it experiences, with kilograms measuring mass and Newtons measuring weight.

Gravity.

Gravity is a non-contact, pull force.


All masses have gravity. It is a force that pulls towards their centre.

This force is only noticeable with


very large masses, for example, planets.
The Earth’s gravity pulls everything
on or near the Earth towards its centre.
This stops us and our things floating away!

Planets have different gravities. The Earth’s gravity is 9,8 Newtons (9,8N).

Isaac Newton discovered Gravity.


He discovered Gravity while in quarantine
for the bubonic plague (peste bubónica, 1666 A.D.).
Newton also discovered why rainbows have colours:
the reflection and refraction of light.

What’s weight?
Weight (peso) is the force that attract us to the ground.
Mass (masa) is the amount of matter.
Weight depends on GRAVITY (N) and MASS (kg). Bewar

On Earth: On Jupiter:
The Earth’s gravity is 9,8 N Gravity on Jupiter is 25N
Paula's weight is 9,8N x 30Kg = 294 N/Kg Paula's weight is 25N x 30Kg = 750 N/Kg
Paula's dog's weight is 9.8N x 10Kg = 98 N/Kg Paula's dog's weight is 25N x 10Kg = 250 N/Kg
