Activate your prior knowledge • What do you already know about gravity?
Read for a purpose • What do you want to know from reading?
Acceleration due to gravity • In a vacuum, all objects fall to earth at the same rate. • If the only force is gravity, an object is in “Free Fall”
Acceleration due to Gravity • a= 9.8 m/s/s
Orbit • Centripetal accleration • Acceleration at constant speed • Constantly changing direction
Moon’s Orbit • ~ 1 month
Earth’s Orbit • “Revolution” • 365 ¼ days
Order of Business for Friday • Finish p. 11 in packet, be sure to read pp. 150-155 if you haven’t done so already • Practice Questions pp. 12-13 • Brain Dump- six bullets on a half sheet of paper on Gravity and Projectile Motion
