May 5, 2010

We started off class by reviewing the answers to the Gravitational Fields worksheet. The answers to this worksheet can be found at the link http://dmciphyz120210.blogspot.com/ . The blog at the top of the page entitled "Gravitational Fields Worksheet" is the one you are looking for. A comparison chart between the constants G and g was made as well:

G / g
- it is a constant on all planets \ - vector
- always remains the same / - on the moon it equals 1.6 N/kg
- a tiny number \ - has direction
- 6.67x10-11 / - changes with mass; - 9.8 N/kg on earth

Additionally, a 5-10 sentence paragraph was handed in on why you believe Dark Matter exists which is backed up with proof (gravitational lensing, stars orbit, etc.).
