How Gravity Works

Gravity pulls objects down towards the ground due to the force of attraction that the earth has, and the way it works on different places or different planets. To start it off, gravity is able to keep objects from floating out into space and down towards the ground because of the gravitational pull that surrounds the world. The reason that gravity works like that is because it is around the world and it has a stronger pull than the gravity on other planets, that's why it seems like there is no gravity on other planets. The gravitational pull is something that covers the world and keeps objects from floating out into space. The gravitational pull provides gravity to keep mass, and matter from going out into space and floating

    This goes hand in hand with Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a gravitational force and Newton's law of motion states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Newton's Laws back up Kepler's laws by explaining how the planets orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci or center. The force that allows this to happen to the planets are explained by Newton's law and that the gravitational force is moving the planets into rotation, as by the law of motion. These forces assisting each other can make phenomenon's occur such as tides.

    Porter five forces analysis is a framework to analyze the level of competition within an industry and business (Wikipedia). Taking Talladega College for example as an industry. The five forces are as followed: buyers the current students, suppliers the alumni and investors, new entries the community college CACC, substitute the online classes and the fast track, and competition the PWI’s and other HBCU’s. The current students are the buyers because they are paying to attend Talladega College, parents are paying out of pocket while others use financial aid and scholarship and loans. Without the students, the college wouldn’t be able to provide the service of a higher education in return for revenue, Talladega College main objective is to provide higher education for future leaders.

    If an object is less dense than the water or air surrounding it, the object floats; if the object is denser, it sinks. When an object does float on water, the water will not remain flat, but will instead form a bump or dimple, depending on the object’s weight. When two identical objects float close together, the change is more noticeable—two cheerios, for example, will cause slight dents in the milk and close together, will appear to “fall into” each other or form clumps. Surface tension is a property that makes the surface of a liquid act like a flexible membrane. It results from various

  • The Giant Impact Theory: How Was The Moon Created?

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    The way it is thought to have worked is that the gravity in the early solar system would have bound particles together at the same time as the earth was forming. This explains why we see such a similar collection of materials in both the moon and the earth, this theory also backs the positioning of the moon itself in our solar system. All though the moon consists of many of the same components as the earth does (after looking into this I discovered some contrasting ideas about the materials both the earth and moon are made up of, one website called windows2universe stated. ‘The co-formation theory explains why the moon appears in the location it does but it does not explain the evidence that the Earth and Moon do not appear to be made of the same material.’ but the majority stated the opposite these websites included BBC.com, Space.com and NASA.gov ) this theory does not explain why the earth is so much more dense.

    Throughout the course of history, literature has always had an immense influence and direct association with people’s way of life. Due to the influence, as society’s principles and beliefs change, literature evolves as well. One of the most notable examples is society’s outlook on women. Although centuries of ideologies regarding women in society separate the narrative The Yellow Wallpaper from the film Gravity, both works use confining imagery and controlled isolation as a motivating element, but with opposite results for the female characters in each.

Did you know the foods you eat affect your energy level? The healthier the food you eat the more energy you will get from it. After you’ve consumed the food, it is stored as potential energy for your body. That energy will then be converted into kinetic energy when you begin a physical activity.

    This is because Mars has a much smaller mass than Earth. Mars’ surface gravity is about 62% less than Earth’s. For example, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, on Mars you would weigh about 38 pounds. The difference in the gravity revolves around the mass, density, and radius. Although Mars has almost the same surface area as Earth, Mars has less density and half of the diameter.
