Gravity
Gravity is the force that keeps objects close to the earth
Not only does gravity keep objects close to the earth it also keeps the solar system revolving the sun
Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton
Acceleration of objects that is due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s

Also, according to Mr. Newton’s First Law, once the egg was moving, it didn’t want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg’s fall, providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken.

According to Newton's First Law (Inertia), once the egg is moving it doesn't stop. The water interrupts the eggs fall and it goes into the cup.

Isaac Newton said that since the egg is not moving while it sits on top of the tube, that is what it is going to do. It isn't going to move.

    Egg Drop Experiment Essay

    The lid was three centimeters so the container with the lid was fifteen centimeters. What I did was I took some fluff out of the jar. Then I placed the egg inside the container with some fluff. After that I put the egg in the fluff and put the other fluff on top of it and buried the egg in fluff. I knew that if I got the egg to stay in motion it would never be in motion. When I dropped the container the fluff protected the egg like walls. The egg did not break because the fluff acted as a block to when the container hits the ground. The fluff was pushing against the egg so the egg wouldn’t bounce around in the container and hit the walls. I dropped the egg right…

    Even though the moon is in space the earth’s gravity is still acting upon it, so a person could say that the moon is falling towards the earth. The reason that the moon doesn’t literally fall to the earth is because the moon is traveling at a constant rate of speed, which has the tendency to travel in a straight line. There is a correlation between the amount of force that the earth’s gravity has on the moon, due to its distance, and the moon’s tendency to travel in a straight line. The moon is constantly changing direction as it orbits the earth in an elliptical pattern, even so, it constantly has the tendency to travel in a straight line. The earth’s gravity pulls the moon towards it, causing it to not travel in a constant direction. Therefore, as the moon is trying to travel a single direction, it is constantly being pulled towards the earth. Since the earth is a sphere the moon does not get any closer or further away as it wants to travel in a straight line while being pulled towards the earth. The illustrations below show this…

    Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day in 1642, in Lincolnshire, England. Newton attended Trinity College in 1661 and had both his Bachelor of Arts and his Master of Arts by 1669. That same year he became the associate of the French Academy of Sciences. He was elected to Parilment, then appointed a warden, and finally, President of the Royal Society. Newton was a master of science and mathematics. He discovered calculus, before Leibniz' became popular. Perhaps Newton's most popular discovery, though, was gravity. As the story goes, Sir Isaac Newton was resting under a tree one day in his garden, when an apple fell from it and hit him on the head. Thus, he discovered gravity. The earth's gravitational pull pulls objects toward it. However, many people believe that this is only a myth created to simply illustrate Newton's discovery. <br><br>Along with Newton's many discoveries, the three laws of motion are famous. These include inertia, acceleration, and the idea that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Inertia is the idea that a body in motion will remain in motion, and a body at rest will remain at rest. For example, if I were to throw a baseball into the air, it would keep going until grasvity pulled it back down to earth. However, if I left it sitting on a table, it would lie there until some kind of force were to move it. If I were to push a skateboard across the floor with all of my might, the skateboard would accelerate more than if I gave it a light shove, simply because there was more force behind it. More force = more acceleration. If I were sitting on a swing and someone were to grab hold of the swing, pull it backwards, and release, I would move forward in the opposite direction. This demonstrates the idea that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite…
