Week of March 2
1. Inertia is a Property of Matter!
Big Idea - Forces have magnitude and direction
I can...
- Investigate what happens to a stationary and a moving object when their net force = 0 and when their net force does not = 0 - and how this relates to the concept of inertia
- Recognize that free fall results from the gravitational attraction between the Earth and an object
Question 1 - Look at the picture below - explain how it relates to the concept of inertia.
2. How Do Objects Move Under the Influence of Gravity?

| Felix Baumgartner - on the edge of space! Jump from Space! - video
Question 2 - On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first person to break the sound barrier and the record for highest sky dive jump. He reached his maximum or terminal velocity - about 840 mph - 30 seconds after he jumped out of the capsule. He was 24 miles above the Earth!
Mass versus Weight
Question 3 - Use the picture above to explain the difference between mass and weight.
Question 4 - What 2 factors determine the force of gravity?
Question 5 - What 2 factors keep the planets in orbit around the Sun or satellites in orbit around the Earth?
Question 6 - What would happen if the Moon suddenly broke free of the Earth's gravity pull?
