Feb 27 & 28 . In your notes…. Reflect on this poem by Francis Thompson: All things by immortal power near or far to each other hiddenly linked are. That thou cans't not stir a flower without troubling a star.

In your notes… • Reflect on this poem by Francis Thompson: All thingsby immortal powernear or farto each otherhiddenly linked are.That thou cans't not stir a flowerwithout troubling a star. • What do you think this means? Interpret the poem in your own words by writing your thoughts in your notes.
Gravity… • Is difficult to measure in everyday life • Is something we take for granted • Is the one of the 4 fundamental forces : • gravity, • electro-magnetism, • strong nuclear forces (which hold the nucleus together) • weak nuclear forces (involved with radioactive decay weak nuclear forces: are involved with carbon dating, are a source of radioactivity, etc..)
Which is the WEAKEST of the 4 forces? • Strong Nuclear Force • Weak Nuclear Force • Electromagnetic Force • Gravity 10 Countdown
TRUEor FALSE: The Moon has no gravity. • True • False • Not enough information to say • I’m not really sure 10 Countdown
TRUEor FALSE: Planets with thin atmospheres have little gravity • True • False • Not enough information to say • I’m not really sure 10 Countdown
TRUEor FALSE: Planets distant from the Sun have less gravity than Earth • True • False • Not enough information to say • I’m not really sure 10 Countdown
TRUEor FALSE: Space shuttle astronauts are weightless because there is no gravity above Earth • True • False • Not enough information to say • I’m not really sure 10 Countdown
Google… • PHET Gravity and orbits • Click the first link • Run the simulation and complete the Lab Activity Sheet. This is due next class for a grade – you will have about 20-30 minutes next class to finish working on this (10 pointsbased on completion) • There will also be a graded, individual, 30 point POST LAB next class to assess this lab activity.
Action: Earth pulls moon. - What is the reaction? - What is stronger – action, reaction, or same? - What Law defends your answer?
Action: Earth pulls moon.What is stronger – action, reaction, or same? • Action(Earth pulls moon) • Reaction (moon pulls Earth) • Same!
What law defends your answer? • 1st Law • 2nd Law • 3rd Law
Choose the picture you think shows the gravity forces on the Earth and the Sun.
How would these gravity forces change if the Sun got more massive? • Increase • Decrease • Stay the same
How would these gravity forces change if the Earth was much closer to the Sun? • Increase • Decrease • Stay the same
How would these gravity forces change if the Earth got much less massive? • Increase • Decrease • Stay the same
How would these gravity forces change if the Earth and Sun were moved farther apart? • Increase • Decrease • Stay the same
Choose the picture of how the Earth would move if you “turned off” the gravity forces.
