20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20053 of 24 Gravity and Newton Gravity is the most important force in the universe! It is an attractive force that makes apples fall from trees and the planets orbit the Sun. Sir Isaac Newton was a scientist who was interested in forces and gravity. He did not discover gravity – gravity and its effects existed long before Newton. Newton did discover how to calculate the force of gravity on objects. His work was so important that the unit of force is named after him!
4.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20054 of 24 Gravity is an attractive force that acts between all objects that have mass. The size of the force depends on the mass of the object. Think about it: When you jump, the gravitational force of the Earth pulls you down. Your gravitational force is also pulling the Earth towards you – you just don’t notice this effect because your mass is so much smaller than Earth’s! Gravity and mass All objects produce a gravitational force. This is a massive force for huge masses such as a planet.
5.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20055 of 24 The force of gravity between two objects depends on the mass of the objects and also the distance between them. Spacecraft produce a very large force, called thrust, to overcome the force of gravity. As a spacecraft gets further away from Earth, the force of gravity gets smaller. Why do spacecraft lose their large fuel tanks and booster rockets once they have left the Earth’s surface? force of gravity Gravity and distance

20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20057 of 24 Mass and weight are not the same! What are mass and weight? Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in kilograms. Mass is not a force. Weight is a force and is caused by the pull of gravity acting on a mass . Like other forces, weight is measured in newtons and has both magnitude and direction. Mass will have the same value anywhere in the Universe, including space. Weight has different values depending on where you are in the Universe.
8.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20058 of 24 Weight and mass on the Moon The force of gravity is less on the Moon than it is on Earth. This is because the Moon has a smaller mass than the Earth. However, the astronaut still has the same body and the same mass: he just weighs less because gravity is weaker on the Moon. Any object will weigh less on the Moon than it does on Earth. An astronaut could jump 20 feet into the air on the Moon because gravity is less.
9.
© Boardworks Ltd
20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 20059 of 24 A scientist should never say: “She weighs 50 kilograms,” but should always say: Talking about weight and mass “She has a mass of 50 kilograms”. “Her weight is about 500 newtons”. Alternatively, the scientist could say: “The gravitational force acting on her mass is about 500 newtons”. This is the same as saying:

20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200512 of 24 The Sun is a massive object at the centre of the Solar System. The mass of the Sun is about 333,000 times the mass of the Earth, so the Sun exerts a massive gravitational pull. Gravity and the Solar System The attractive gravitational force between the Sun and each of the planets keeps them moving in orbits around the Sun. The shape of a planet’s orbit around is an ellipse (oval). What would happen to the planets if there was no gravity from the Sun?
13.

20041 of 20 © Boardworks Ltd 200513 of 24 An artificial satellite is an object made by and put into orbit by humans. There are lots of artificial satellites in orbit around the Earth and they have many different uses. Artificial satellites can have different type of orbits. Gravity and satellites A satellite is any object that orbits another object. The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, which is kept in orbit by the attraction of the Earth’s gravity.

These satellites can ‘see’ much further into space and give us images of stars and galaxies many light years away, like this cartwheel galaxy. Using satellites to view space
