A SCIENCE NOTE

What Does “Per Second Per Second” Mean?

  • “Per second per second” refers to acceleration, the rate at which velocity changes over time. For example:
    • If an object’s velocity increases by 10 m/s1 every second, it has an acceleration of 10 m/s2.
    • This is read as “meters per second squared” or “meters per second per second.”

How Fast Does an Object Fall?

  • Near the surface of the Earth, objects fall with an acceleration due to gravity, denoted by gg, approximately 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2 — 32 feet per second per second).
  • Assuming no air resistance, the speed of a falling object can be calculated using the formula:v=g⋅t
    where:

    • v is the velocity,
    • g=9.8 m/s2
    • t is the time in seconds.

    Example:

    • After 1 second: v=9.8 m/s     v = 9.8.
    • After 2 seconds: v=19.6 m/s  v = 19.6.
    • After 3 seconds: v=29.4 m/s  v = 29.4

Do Objects Fall at the Same Speed Regardless of Weight?

  • In the absence of air resistance (in a vacuum), all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity acts equally on all objects relative to their mass.
    • Example: A feather and a hammer will fall at the same rate in a vacuum (as demonstrated during the Apollo 15 moon landing).
  • With air resistance, heavier or denser objects usually fall faster because they are less affected by drag. For example:
    • A bowling ball falls faster than a feather in Earth’s atmosphere due to the feather’s higher air resistance relative to its weight.

Key Equations and Concepts

  1. Distance Fallen Over Time:d=1/2 gt2 .
  2. Terminal Velocity:
    • In real-world conditions, objects reach a maximum falling speed (terminal velocity) when air resistance balances the force of gravity.  This is why rain does not kill you.
  3. Galileo’s Discovery:
    • Galileo showed that objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, overturning Aristotle’s earlier belief that heavier objects fall faster.

The Weight of the World

By admin | Published: December 23, 2024

[Intro]
I feel as though…
The weight of the world is upon me
(Er, ah… under… under me)

[Verse 1]
Quite some feat!
(Acting at my feat)
Sure does defeat
(My attempts to be free)

[Bridge]
Anchoring me

[Chorus]
Alas, Atlas
(Misunderstood)
Held fast, alas
(Bound by the foot)
Where the foot’s put….

[Bridge]
Found to be bound
(Anchoring me to the ground)
For my own good
(Understood)
Bound at the feet
(Oh, sooo sweet)

[Verse 2]
Now I think on it
(So glad you do your bit)
Of restraining me
(From breaking free)

[Bridge]
Anchoring me

[Chorus]
Alas, Atlas
(Misunderstood)
Held fast, alas
(Feet like concrete)
(Bound by the foot)
Where the foot’s put….

[Bridge]
Found to be bound
(Anchoring me to the ground)
For my own good
(Understood)
Bound at the feet
(Oh, sooo sweet)

[Outro]
Oh, so sweet
(To be bound at my feet)
For what it’s worth
(Keeps me down to earth)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The phrase “having the weight of the world on one’s shoulders” originates from Atlas, a figure in Greek mythology. Atlas was a Titan condemned by Zeus to hold up the heavens for eternity as punishment for his role in the Titanomachy (the war between the Titans and the Olympian gods). Over time, this was often misunderstood or symbolically represented as Atlas holding the Earth on his shoulders, which has become a common image in art and culture.

Today, the phrase is used metaphorically to describe someone burdened by immense responsibility or pressure. However, in this instance it is used metaphorically, and perhaps metaphysically, about physics. That is to say, gravity is often misunderstood as a weight on your shoulders, when in reality, it’s a force acting at your feet, anchoring you to the ground.

[Outro]

A SCIENCE NOTE
Gravity affects light through a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. This effect occurs because gravity is not just a force acting on objects with mass but rather a warping of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Here’s how gravity affects light:

1. Gravitational Bending of Light (Gravitational Lensing)

When light passes near a massive object, such as a star or black hole, the curvature of spacetime around that object causes the path of the light to bend. This bending is known as gravitational lensing and has been observed in phenomena such as:

  • The bending of starlight around the Sun during a solar eclipse, first observed in 1919.
  • Images of distant galaxies being distorted into arcs or multiple images due to the presence of a massive galaxy cluster between the source and observer.

2. Gravitational Redshift

Light escaping from a strong gravitational field loses energy, which results in a decrease in its frequency and an increase in its wavelength. This is known as gravitational redshift and is observed in light emitted from stars or near black holes. The effect was first confirmed in 1960 in laboratory experiments.

3. Black Holes and Event Horizons

In extremely strong gravitational fields, such as those near a black hole, the warping of spacetime can become so intense that light cannot escape beyond a certain boundary known as the event horizon. This creates the appearance of a “black” hole from which no light can reach an outside observer.

4. Shapiro Delay

When light travels through a region of space influenced by a massive object, its path is not only bent but also takes longer to traverse. This additional delay, known as the Shapiro delay, has been used to confirm the effects of gravity on light using radar signals sent to planets and their moons.

In all these effects, gravity demonstrates its ability to influence light, even though light has no mass. This influence highlights the deep connection between spacetime geometry and energy as described by relativity.

(So that it doesn’t kill me)
After all…
(In free fall)

[Outro]
After all…
(In free fall)
It not the drop…
(It’s the)
[Break]
Stop!

A SCIENCE NOTE
When you are in free fall, you do not feel the effects of gravity because you and the object you’re falling with (including your body) are accelerating at the same rate. This state is known as “weightlessness” or “microgravity.”

Here’s the reasoning:

  1. Gravitational Acceleration: Gravity pulls everything toward the Earth at the same acceleration, which is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²) near the Earth’s surface (32 feet per second per second).
  2. Free Fall: When you’re in free fall, you and your surroundings are all accelerating toward the Earth at this same rate. There’s no force pushing against you (such as the ground or a seat), so you don’t feel your weight. In other words, you and everything around you are “falling” together at the same rate, so there is no relative motion to make you feel the force of gravity.
  3. Lack of Contact Force: On the ground, you feel the normal force from the surface you’re standing on, which counteracts the force of gravity, creating the sensation of weight. In free fall, since you’re not in contact with any surface, there’s no normal force, so you experience what is effectively “weightlessness.”

In essence, you still experience gravity, but you don’t feel it as a force because everything is accelerating uniformly. This is why astronauts experience weightlessness while orbiting Earth—they are in a state of continuous free fall, but because their velocity is also tangential to the Earth’s surface, they do not hit the ground.

A SCIENCE NOTE
It would not be correct to say that humans are gravity, but it would be accurate to say that humans possess gravity.

According to Newton’s law of gravitation, every object with mass, including humans, exerts a gravitational pull. However, the gravitational pull of a human being is extremely small and negligible compared to larger objects like Earth. The term “possess gravity” refers to the fact that humans, like all objects with mass, generate a gravitational field, but it’s far too weak to have any noticeable effects in everyday life.

A SCIENCE NOTE
The four fundamental forces of nature govern how matter interacts in the universe. These are:

1. Gravitational Force

  • What It Does: Governs the attraction between objects with mass. It keeps planets in orbit, binds galaxies, and gives objects weight on Earth.
  • Strength: Weakest of the four, but acts over infinite distances.
  • Mediating Particle: Hypothetically, the graviton (not yet observed).
  • Key Feature: Always attractive, never repulsive.

2. Electromagnetic Force

  • What It Does: Governs the interaction between charged particles. It’s responsible for electricity, magnetism, and light.
  • Strength: Stronger than gravity but acts over infinite distances.
  • Mediating Particle: Photon.
  • Key Feature: Can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the charges involved.

3. Strong Nuclear Force

  • What It Does: Binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei, overcoming the repulsion between positively charged protons.
  • Strength: The strongest force, but acts only over very short distances (about the size of an atomic nucleus).
  • Mediating Particle: Gluons.
  • Key Feature: Essential for the stability of matter.

4. Weak Nuclear Force

  • What It Does: Responsible for processes like radioactive decay and nuclear fusion (e.g., in the Sun). It changes one type of particle into another.
  • Strength: Stronger than gravity but weaker than the electromagnetic and strong forces. It acts over very short distances.
  • Mediating Particles: W and Z bosons.
  • Key Feature: Vital for the creation of elements in stars.

Summary of Strengths:

From strongest to weakest:
Strong Nuclear > Electromagnetic > Weak Nuclear > Gravitational

Each force plays a critical role in shaping the physical world, from the smallest atomic scales to the vast cosmic structures.

A SCIENCE NOTE

Weight

  • Definition: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
  • Properties:
    • It is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction, pointing toward the center of the gravitational source).
    • Weight depends on the gravitational field strength, so it changes based on location.
    • Measured in newtons (N) in the SI system.
    • Calculated using the formula: W=m⋅g 
    • Where:
      • is weight.
      • is mass.
      • is the gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).
      • The “s” in 9.8 m/s2 stands for seconds, and the unit as a whole—meters per second squared (m/s²)—represents acceleration.

        Explanation of m/s2

        • m: Stands for meters, a unit of distance.
        • s2: Refers to seconds squared, which comes from dividing velocity (meters per second, or m/s) by time (seconds, or s).

(She’s weighing us down)
Down, down, down

[Chorus]
You make how much stuff
(Look awful rough)
Enough!
(Pullin’ on my stuff)

[Bridge]
Wait… weight?
(Soon… I”ll be movin’ to the moon)
Soon…

[Chorus]
You make how much stuff
(Look awful rough)
Enough!
(Pullin’ on my stuff)

[Outro]
Wait… weight?

A SCIENCE NOTE
The difference between weight and mass lies in their definitions, properties, and dependence on gravity:

Mass

  • Definition: Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
  • Properties:
    • It is a scalar quantity (it has magnitude but no direction).
    • Mass remains constant regardless of location (e.g., on Earth, the Moon, or in space).
    • Measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) in the SI system.
  • Nature: Mass is intrinsic to the object and does not depend on external factors like gravity.
  • Example: A bowling ball has a mass of 10 kg, no matter where it is.

Weight

  • Definition: Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity.
  • Properties:
    • It is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction, pointing toward the center of the gravitational source).
    • Weight depends on the gravitational field strength, so it changes based on location.
    • Measured in newtons (N) in the SI system.
    • Calculated using the formula: W=m⋅g
    •  Where:
      • W is weight.
      • m is mass.
      • g is the gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.8 m/s2 on Earth).

Key Differences

Aspect Mass Weight
Definition Amount of matter Force due to gravity
SI Unit Kilogram (kg) Newton (N)
Nature Scalar Vector
Dependence Constant everywhere Changes with gravitational field
Formula Intrinsic property W=m⋅gW = m \cdot g

Conclusion

Mass describes “how much stuff” an object contains, while weight describes “how strongly gravity pulls on that stuff.” You can think of mass as universal and unchanging, and weight as context-dependent, varying with the local gravitational field.

A SCIENCE NOTE

Gravity shapes the cosmos and plays a crucial role in the organization and dynamics of the universe.

How Gravity Works:

Gravity is best explained by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity:

  • Massive objects like planets or stars distort the fabric of spacetime, creating a “curvature.”
  • Objects moving through this curved spacetime follow paths determined by the curvature, which we perceive as gravitational attraction.

For everyday contexts, Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is a useful approximation.
