Week 12: April 28 - May 2 Universal Gravity

Goals:
1. Be able to describe what gravity is.
2. Be able to use and explain the equation for the law of universal gravitation: F = m*m/d2. (I'm unable to write superscripts and subscripts here. The equation is saying that the force due to gravitybetween two objects is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the distance between them squared.)
3. Be able to support the law of universal gravitation with graphs.

Activities:
Monday: Go over Quiz. Notes on Gravity
Tuesday: Work time on Gravity problems in class
Thursday: Film: Zero G. Practice Problems.
Friday: Review. Quiz. Notebook.
