Gravity and Force by Meera Patel https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu How does gravity affect things on or near Earth? en-us 2016-09-19 18:09:46 UTC 2016-09-19 18:33:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Khushi, Varshini, Mia, And Elina - Getting to know - Gravity https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124859950 Gravity is a force that pulls everything toward the Earth's center. For example, however high you jump, you always come down. Airplanes and birds are also effecting by gravity because they use lots of energy to move against the pull of gravity. Even the moon gets affected by gravity because it keeps the moon in orbit with the Earth. Even if you traveled far beyond the moon's orbit you will be affected by the sun's gravitational attraction. ]]> 2016-09-19 18:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124859950 Sriya, Alex, Siya - What Goes Up Must Come Down 3005988 https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124859951 Gravity is a force that can push, pull, and lift things.If you throw a ball up in the air, it will immediately fall right back down because of gravity. Since Earth has a much greater mass than the ball, it will pull the ball towards it. Gravity pulls the ball and the Earth together. Gravity pulls the Earth to the ball, and at the same time, it pulls the ball to the Earth. That’s because Earth’s mass is much, much greater than the ball’s mass. ]]> 2016-09-19 18:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124859951 What Goes Up Must Come Down Andrew, Vaibhav, and Alauna https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860284 In this story it shows that if you throw something into the air for example, a ball, earth’s gravity will pull it down. But everything gives off gravitational fields ,so why doesn’t the ball be attracted to you instead. The answer is mass. Since the earth has more mass than you do the ball is attracted to the earth. Then again if everything gives off gravitational fields why isn’t the earth attracted to the ball? Once again the answer is mass. The earth is larger than the ball so the ball is attracted to the earth. ]]> 2016-09-19 18:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860284 Let's get away: Laura, Srinidhi, and Snigdha https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860381 Gravity is powerful and affects everything on or near Earth. That's why a spaceship needs a lot of power to exit the atmosphere. Furthermore, when an astronaut goes into space they use just enough power to get into orbit. Even though they are in space, just a little movement closer to Earth can bring them coming down. They might still be in space but the gravity is still surrounding Earth. So in conclusion, gravity is powerful and can effect things that are on or near Earth and things will be coming down.]]> 2016-09-19 18:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860381 let's Get Away : Nedhi, Aarnika, Andres https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860444 Gravity affects things by pulling them to Earth’s surface.For example, affects space rockets by trying to pull them to earth’s surface. So, space shuttles need a force stronger than gravity to overpower gravity.This force is the escape velocity. If the spaceship goes into space, it has an escape velocity of at least 11 km per second. In conclusion, this is how Gravity affects objects.]]> 2016-09-19 18:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860444 Getting To Know:Gravity(Hannah,Tanay,Adithya) https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860940 Tanay-Gravity pull objects toward the center of the earth even when you're out of the reach of earth's gravitational pull you always have gravity pulling on you.

Hannah-It is very complicated but I know. Because gravity is like string tied to a tennis ball swinging around your head. Is you let go it will fly in 1 direction and it is basically orbiting your head. Also if you drop an object it will fall. So gravity makes things go down

Adithya N- Gravity pulls objects toward the earth. Somethings like a plane, a bird, and a rocket all can balance gravity. When you balance gravity you make sure you don't fall toward the earth.]]> 2016-09-19 18:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124860940 Lets Get Away Thaarun,Ranjit,Temilayo https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124861247 Thaarun : Gravity affects things on or near Earth pulls things close to the surface. For example from Let’s Get Away the author stated ‘Because Earth has so much mass, its gravity is a powerful force. The force keeps objects, such as the space shuttle, close to its surface]]> 2016-09-19 18:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124861247 Simone, Brandon, and Pranav - What Comes Up Must Come Down https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124861258 Gravity affects things by pulling objects on or near Earth together, creating a strong force. The more mass an object has, the stronger the gravity. For example, gravity is affecting us by pulling me and you towards Earth’s center.]]> 2016-09-19 18:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124861258 Edjutawee,Aditya, and Krishi https://padlet.com/meera_patel1/pg904xl0jouu/wish/124861654 Getting to Know: Gravity
Edjutawee
The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun. The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun AND the Earth. On Earth's gravity pull everything down and the Earth's comes to the object but on a small scale. But on the big scale you need a huge object.Krishi :It affects things by pulling things towards it or towards it’s center.Like it pulls us down to the center and pulls the moon as well.So the gravity pulls things together.

Aditya The moon has an orbit around earth, like a tennis ball that is on a string attached to your head. If the string let’s go the moon will go flying in one direction. Astronauts appear weightless because the spaceship is moving fast that balances the pull of Earth’s gravity.
