  1. What Hath Befallen Gravity? Topic 4

  2. Newton’s rules for the study of natural philosophy • Simplicity • Generality • Experimental verification • Theories are tentative

  3. Three Approaches to Forces • Action at a distance -no mechanism • Field Description -space changed by body • Particle Exchange -emitted or removed

  4. Flat Space vs. Spherical Space

  5. Effect of Acceleration

  6. Principle of Equivalence • Downward pull of gravity can be duplicated by an upward acceleration
