1. If you drop an object, what happens? 
2. Why does it fall? What is it called and is 
this specific thing a force?
Gravity 
• Gravity is a force that pulls things 
downward. 
• Mass- Amount of matter inside an object. 
• Weight- the force of gravity pulling down 
on an object. 
• Gravity pulls every object at a speed of 
9.81m/s2 or 32.1 ft/s
Factors 
• What are some factors that affect how 
objects fall? 
• Air resistance- determines if objects fall at 
the same rate or not.
