Students will be able to:
State the variables on which the force of gravity depends upon (mass and distance)
Use the equation of universal gravitation to solve related problems.
Describe the differences between mass and weight, and provide examples.
Watch the two videos below on mass vs weight and universal gravitation.
Watch Mr. DePo's lecture note video and fill out your own notes accordingly.
Attempt and complete the problem set. Make sure to check your answers as you go!
Mass Vs Weight
Mass Vs Weight
NOTE: I make the classic error of forgetting to square my denominators when I work through the problem on the back side of the lesson sheet.
The magnitude of the resultant (net) force should be 1.5x10^-8.

Universal Gravitation - Flipping Physics
Note: Mr. P talks about another equation (Fg = mg) in this video. We will cover this in the next lesson.
