Mass, Inertia, and Gravity-Heavy Topics

For tomorrow we'll be looking at how gravity interacts with the mass of an object, and inertia.

Starting on page 158, we'll read and make notes to page 162, where we'll look at some examples of Newton's Universal Law of Gravity. Early last week I introduced the topic briefly but now is the time to look at it in more depth.

I may get some time later today or tomorrow to post a video with some notes and/or an example or two. A short historical account of these 'heavy' ideas and their astronomical applications take a look at this.

'See' you Monday.
