Use evidence from the articles you read to support your claim. en-us 2016-09-19 01:08:17 UTC 2026-01-23 14:26:00 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Soccerball.png 3009870 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124865870 Gravity is a force that keeps objects on the ground. An example in "What Goes up Must Come Down" is, when you throw a ball in the air it comes back down. Gravity pulls the Earth and the ball together. An example in "Let's Get Away" is, a space shuttle must overcome the gravity between the Earth and the shuttle. Another  example in "Getting to Know Gravity" is, on Earth, if you jump up in the air, you would land right back down on the ground. If you are in orbit and you jump up, you will keep floating because there is no gravity there. So in conclusion, we all found examples that revolve around gravity keeping objects on the ground.]]> 2016-09-19 18:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124865870 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124870973 Gravity affect things by pulling it back to Earth.The greater the mass the more gravity effect on it .What goes up must come down.The gravity also affect all object by giving it weight. A lot of sports use gravity to play the game.When a space shuttle goes near the Earth the gravity pull it toward the Earth. In the text it said that if you were to throw a ball high into the air, it would go down to Earth rather then you since the Earth has a greater mass thus it has more force of gravity. Also in  the text it says that in order to fly, you have to overcome the force of gravity so you can lift of the ground. For example, it said that an airplane over comes the force of gravity with the help of the force lift  thus it being able to sore through the air and landing at will. Another example is a space shuttle which is launching. It needs enough force to get out of earth gravity.]]> 2016-09-19 18:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124870973 Shahan_Adil https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124872218 Gravity is a force which the object with bigger mass makes the object with smaller mass come to the object with bigger mass like the example in "What comes up must come down.", Which was the tiny ball which is smaller in mass than the huge earth which has more mass, so when the ball was thrown up it fell back down because the ball had smaller mass and was pulled to the earth which has larger mass. Another example from "Let's get away" is when a space shuttle breaks the gravitational pull and flies into space. Getting to know gravity also has a example which is when you are on something really tall and when you drop it from that height it will fall down because of gravity.]]> 2016-09-19 18:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124872218 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124872310 Gravity is a type of force that pulls objects together . The more mass an object has the faster it falls . For example if you throw a apple up in the air the apple will fall right back down because of gravity . Gravity affects things on or near Earth, because of the mass of the planet .
In What goes up must come down
article it states "The greater the mass of  two objects the stronger the gravity. " " When you are on Earth's. In the article Getting To know Gravity it states "when you are on Earths surface , gravity holds you close to the ground."This means that gravity keeps on the ground. So that is the explanation "How does gravity affect things on or near Earth " .

So if there is something near earth gravity will attempt to bring it down to earth. The reason the moon fly into to earth is because there is a  another force that keeps it balanced. If rock is near earth it will be pulled to the earth and the earth will be pulled to the rock. Gravity works both ways. Our article states "So why does the ball fall toward Earth instead of toward you? The reason has to do with an objects mass. The greater the masses of two objects, the stronger gravity is between them."]]> 2016-09-19 18:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124873718 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124874415 Gravity effects things on or near Earth because gravity is a push or pull. For example, "We just go a little bit closer to the Earth and the spacecraft automatically gets pulled out." Gravity can affect many things because when you throw a ball up into the air, it always comes back down. Also, an object that is at rest will stay at rest. For example, "Objects like the moon move in a way that balances the pull between Earth and that object. Gravity has a bigger affect on objects that are closer to the Earth than the objects that are farther than the Earth. In total, gravity can affect many things with a push or a pull. ]]> 2016-09-19 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124874415 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124874856 Since earth has so much mass, that it can pull any objects weight to the ground. For example, if the ball has the same mass as you, the greater mass pulls the object with less mass towards the Earth. In what goes up must come down, it states," Gravity pulls toward Earth, but at the same time gravity pulls Earth toward the ball." If astronauts are near earth they will have a gravitational pull. Since Earth has a big amount of pulling, it causes space shuttles to be pulled by gravity.]]> 2016-09-19 18:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124874856 https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124876287 Gravity is a force because it pulls things back down to Earth. An objects on and near Earth will fall down straight to the ground by the force of gravity. Getting to Know: Gravity says, "Astronauts, their spacecrafts, and anything that orbits Earth are affected by Earth's gravity." Also, gravity will attract two things together. But, when you throw a ball into the air, the ball will be attracted to the Earth, rather than a human because Earth has more mass than a person. According to "What Goes Up Must Come Down" it states, "The greater the masses of two objects, the stronger the gravity is between them." The text states, "Because Earth has so much mass, its gravity is a powerful force." This explains the force called gravity.

In "Getting to Know: Gravity" the text states "An example of this is when you drop an apple of the top of a building it will drop to Earth." In "Let's Get Away" the text states "An object with mass has to have a force called escape velocity. In "What Goes Up Must Come Down" the text states "When you throw a ball in the air it will come back to Earth not you." This happens because of the mass of an object. ]]> 2016-09-19 19:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Desai/Unit1Force/wish/124876844
