19 September 2013 6th Hour Technology and Success 6th Grade Warmup

The newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.

To will investigate the connection between weight, mass, the size of a planet, and gravitational force.

We will complete the experiment together.

If you do not have a username or password I will demonstrate how to complete an account to the whole class.  You should have created an account when we reviewed usernames and passwords.  When we have completed the experiment together answer the questions, "Why would you weight less on Mars?"

    Why do I weigh less on mars.

    I think I weigh less more on mars because the gravity is not pushing on you as hard.

    The reason we way less on mars is that gravity is higher in lower planets.mars is smaller than earth so gravity is easier on mars.

    Why do we whey leas on mars?
    We whey leas on mars because mars dos not have as mush gravitate as earth

    You weigh more because on mars because the lower planets have higher gravity

    Weight Less On Mars
    We Weight Less On Mars. We weigh less on mars because mars has less massive. Therefore its gravity is weaker.

    I think you would wiegh less on mars because the gravity is not pulling you as hard.

    Why do we weigh less on Mars?

    I think i would weigh less on Mars because on Mars the gravity pull isn't as much as the gravity pull on Earth.

    We weigh less on mars cause there planet is smaller than earths. I think that is cool cause if we could travel mars we could weigh less.but we also have the same mass and volume as earth.

  9. Taylor M,

    Why do we way less on mars?

    You way less on mars because,Mars is a smaller planet. You would not chance shape.

  10. Aluzza johnson The reason you weigh less on mars is because on Mar gravity does not of the same amount then earth does.Also the gravity is not pushing on you as hard so since its not pushing on you as hard it makes your body weight lighter then it is on earth.mars is smaller than earth so gravity is smaller on mars.Also earth has more mass on earth and on mars there is almost no mass

    the reason you weigh less on different planets like mars I say because of gravity.Well that's what i think what about you?Anyway that's what i think

    Me On Mars
    I think the reason you weigh less on Mars is because mars is smaller so it has less gravity.

    You wiagh less on mars because of the gravitational pull.The less pull the less you way.That is why you way less in mars

    The weight on the planets is different because of the gravitational pull.The reason you would weigh less is the gravitational pull. The gravitational is the gravity you have on that planet.

    why I would weight less on mars.
    I would weight less on mars because, earth has a stronger gravity pull than mars. That is why I would weigh less on mars than I do on earth.

  16. Benjermain.O How do you way less on the mars?


    You way less on the moon because thers less gravity pulling on you.Another reason you way more on earth is it is larger so it has more gravity pullying towards it.Thats whate I think.

    You would wiegh less on mars because its small.But if you
    weighed your self on earth you'll weigh more.This is why you
    would weigh less on mars.

    this is why i think this.
    i think that i we weigh more on earth cause it is bigger than mars.we have a better gravitational pull.

  19. Owen G,

    You would weigh less on mars because of the gravity.Weight is measured by the gravitational pull.The many reason is if the planet is smaller then earth you'd weigh less witch mars is smaller then earth.

  20. Wyatt S. Weight on Mars On Mars you might way less because the planet is smaller. Because the planet is smaller it has less of a gravitational pull than Earth. This is why you don't weigh as much on Mars as you do on Earth

    The reason you weigh less on Mars is because on Mars,gravity does not have the same amount then earth does.Also,Earth has more mass.The gravity is not pushing on you as hard.

    Would i weigh less on mars?

    Yes,I do weigh less on mars.I weigh less on mares because,
    1/3 of the weigh on mars is from earth.That is how i weigh less on mars.

    You weigh less because there is less gravity pulling you down. Next there is not the same gravity. All in all this was awesome.

    Weight on Mars
    The reason that people weigh less on Mars than they do on Earth because the amount of gravity on Earth is greater. The more gravity there is the more objects weigh. Like a five pound melon would way 2 pounds on Mars.

    We weigh less on mars because we don't weigh the same on earth.For example:if you weigh 100 lbs. on earth you weigh something else on mars.That is what I think is why we weigh less on mars.
