− | #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 | + | #Have you ever seen something fallen from a height - or even a fruit from a tree? |
− | #We will study more about this - but mass also interacts with other masses; this is called gravitational property. We already saw that is has an inertial property | + | #If it is changing its position and moving (falling) there must be a force? |
− | #The Earth is not touching the object, but still its mass has an effect on the mass on my hand
| + | #Where do you think the force is coming from? |
− | #Gravity can act at a distance between two masses
| + | #Is it possible that forces can also act without touching? |
