− | #Is there a difference when you hold each of them?
| |
− | #Is this due to inertia? Am I changing anything when I am holding?
| |
− | #What might this difference be due to?
| |
− | #This is due to a property called weight which is because the mass of this object interacts with another mass - that of the earth. We call this weight
| |
− | #We will study more about this - but mass also interacts with other masses; this is called gravitational property
| |
− | #The Earth is not touching the object, but still its mass has an effect on the mass on my hand
| |
− | #Gravity can act at a distance between two masses

| |
− | #Does mass have both inertial and gravitational property?
| |
− | #Does gravitational property depend on size? Or mass?

| |
− | #If an object has inertia, when I drop the object why does it fall?
| |
− | #Do you feel the gravitational effect of the Earth?
