Mass vs. Weight Simulators and Websites
The “SPACE WEIGHT” Calculator:
Liverpool John Moores University. (n.d.). The “space weight” calculator. The Schools’ Observatory. https://www.schoolsobservatory.org/things-to-do/space-weight-calculator
Calculate your weight on different planets in space.
Liverpool John Moores University. (n.d.). The gravity simulator. The Schools’ Observatory. https://www.schoolsobservatory.org/things-to-do/gravity-simulator
Using the simulator, drop the ball on different planets. Think about your weight on different planets in our earlier activity – what can you conclude about the relationship between the two activities?
In terms of gravity, which environments are most like Earth and which are the most different? Is the ball harder to control in some locations? Why does gravity vary on other planets?
