Write a letter to Grandma and tell her what you’ve learned about Galileo, introducing the concepts of acceleration and inertia. State that he was familiar with forces but didn’t see their connection to acceleration and mass. Tell her how Isaac Newton did see the connection and how it explains why heavy and light objects in free fall gain the same speed in the same time. In this letter, it’s okay to use an equation or two, as long as you make it clear to Grandma that an equation is a shorthand notation of ideas you’ve explained.

Sir Isaac Newton discovered the extraordinary mathematics of calculus as well as a law of universal gravitation which tells us the strength of the gravitational force between two masses. However, Newton admitted in his writings that he did not know why gravitational forces exist. Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets of our galaxy orbit the sun in perfect circular paths and Kepler made this into one of his famous three laws of planetary motion. Ludwig Boltzmann's greatest contribution to physics was the development of statistical mechanics which combines probability theory and physics. His work explains why heat tends to flow from hot to cold and why isolated systems always proceed from order to disorder. Einstein's special theory of relativity of 1905 revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of space and time. One of the postulates of Einstein's special theory of relativity is that light travels at the constant speed of approximately c=300,000,000 m/s for all observers in all inertial reference frames. This speed c is constant regardless of the motion of the light emitting body and is constant regardless of the motion of the observer. Einstein's work on special relativity led him to discover his famous equation E=mc^2 which reveals an equivalency between energy and mass. In Newton's law of universal gravitation, the transmission of gravitational force is independent of time and is assumed to just always be there. In Newton's theory there is no cosmic speed limit for the universe. However, according to Einstein's theory, nothing in the universe, not even gravitational attraction, can be transmitted faster than the speed of light. After Einstein wrote his special theory of relativity in 1905, he eventually came up with his general theory of relativity, which is an advanced mathematical theory of why gravitational forces exist. Basically, in the theory Einstein explains that masses bend spacetime and this results in the phenomenon of gravity. Einstein's mathematics predict the existence of gravitational waves but he said they would be too weak to ever be detected. These waves were discovered in 2015 and they are currently an active area of modern physics research.

00:01 So i think the point of this exercise writing the letter to grammar is to kind of get you to summarize the big topics that we've talked about.

00:09 The biggest one is f equals lema.

00:12 The force that's exerted on an object, the net force rather, is equal to the mass times acceleration of that object.

00:26 As far as why two things with different masses can accelerate.

00:33 Rate at the same, they have the same acceleration near earth.

00:38 Well, that's if we divide by both sides, if we divide both sides by the mass, get some cancellation over here on the right, and we're left with just the acceleration is equal to the force divided by the mass.

00:54 So that explains that.

00:56 If you want some historical context, you should google newton and the apple tree.

01:00 It's a pretty cool story...

Question

Isaac proposes a of how a force of gravity controls many forms of motion. He writes down three equations that describe how the force of gravity works, and using these questions he can predict the motions of many planets, and also how apples fall from trees.
