2nd Law Wednesday

Practice C page 132 
1-5


The difference:
·        Gravity—Force that pulls us down (N)

·         G—universal constant (just a number) 
          g—acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)

 Because of Newton's 2nd Law: F=ma and therefore w=mg (weight=mass * acceleration due to gravity)

**remember we do everything in SI system....newtons, kilograms and m/2 ^2)
