The earth exerts a force on everything This force is called gravity What does gravity do? Hold your pen up and then let go Why does this happen

Weight The force the earth exerts on me is
called my weigh
The weight of a body is the force pulling it towards the center of the earth
Like all forces, weight is measured in newtons
![Page 4: Weight. The earth exerts a force on everything This force is called gravity What does gravity do? Hold your pen up and then let go Why does this happen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ced5503460f949ba226/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Weight So what is your weight, how do you
measure your weight
We are all made of matter, some people have a grater matter than others
The more matter an object has the greater will be the force acting on it
![Page 5: Weight. The earth exerts a force on everything This force is called gravity What does gravity do? Hold your pen up and then let go Why does this happen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ced5503460f949ba226/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A block of lead would have a greater mass than a block of wood of equal size
Force of gravity acting on the block of lead would be greater than the force of gravity acting on the block of wood.
The block of lead has a greater weight
So the weight of a object is determined by two things the mass of it, and the fore of gravity acting on it

Weight Does your weight change when your in the
moon or space
Your weight changed because the pull of gravity on it changes
What is weight again = The force the earth exerts on an object
Will a litre of milk weigh the same on the earth, moon and space

Weight The litre of milk will be 6
times lighter on the moon compared to earth
The moon is one-sixth the size of the earth
The force of gravity acting on an object is one-sixth, of the force acting on earth
The moon has a force of 1.67 on 1kg

The litre of milk will be weightless in space
Your weight is zero in space, that’s why you can float because there is no force of gravity acting on you
Things also wheigh less on the top of a mountain
Instead of a force of 10 N it would be 9 N

Class Activity
Do calculation 1, 2, 3, 6, 6 minutes
Calculations 4, 5 homework
![Page 14: Weight. The earth exerts a force on everything This force is called gravity What does gravity do? Hold your pen up and then let go Why does this happen.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ced5503460f949ba226/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Calculations 1
A litre of milk (1kg) on the earth weighs
1kg x 10N = 10 N/kg A litre of milk on the moon weighs
1 kg x 1.67N = 1.67 N/Kg A litre of milk in space weights
1 kg x 0 = 0 N/kg A litre of milk on the top of a mountain weighs
1 kg x 9N = 9 N/Kg

Calculation 2
What is the object weighed 600kg, what would it weigh
Earth= 600 kg x 10N = 6000 kg/N Moon= 600 kg x 1.67N = 1002 kg/N Space= 600 kg x 0N = 0 kg/N Mountain= 600 kg x 9N = 5400 kg/N

Is it still milk inside
Is it still a litre
So this states that mass stays the same
If you are standing on the earth , moon and space you have the same mass but your weight changes

Recap = Mass & Weight
Mass Measured in
kilograms (kg) Is fixed, never
changes Is a fixed property of
all things, like length or volume
Weight Measured in Newtons
(N) Varies, depends on
where you are Is a force or a pull on
something

Why did Bob Beaman’s 1972 long jump record (8.9 metres) last until 1991?
The Olympics were held in Mexico city….he weighed less!

An astronaut has a mass of 124 kg
His weight on earth is 1240 kg/N, on the moon is 207.08 kg/N and inouter space is 0 kg/N. His mass , unlike his weight never varies wherever he is

Calculating Weight 5
Find the weight of a 250g bag of biscuits Solution: First change the mass to kg 250g = 0.25 kg (250g ÷ 1000) Now, F = 0.25kg * 10 m/s2
= 2.5 kg/m2
= 2.5 N
