Professor John Goree & Lou Datilio Gravity Weight Falling in Space: Microgravity (Weightlessness)

Q. What keeps you from floating out of your chair, when you are seated? A. Gravity

Q. Why does everything dropped (here, the apples) fall downward? A. Gravity All things attract one another

Pictures taken (at regular intervals) of a ball falling Falling

All objects fall at the same speed (without air resistance) Falling

Demonstration: quarter and feather

Throwing a ball at different speeds Falling

Throwing it hard enough might make it go into orbit around the earth Falling

Demonstration: Java applet (Fowler’s Physics Applets)

Weight

Demonstration: weight on a bathroom scale

Weight and Weightlessness inside an elevator Weight

Weightlessness: inside a falling elevator in a spacecraft, They are alike, because both are falling

Video: free fall

astronauts inside their spacecraft Weightlessness

Space Station months Space shuttle <17 days Sounding rockets10 min KC sec Drop towers 5 sec Vomit Comet “Microgravity” = “Weightlessness” Weightlessness

Parabolic airplane flights = vomit comet Microgravity

Spacecraft: Mir Space Station Mir: Spring, 2000
