Science Homework

Year 5      What is Gravity?
Science Homework


1.    What happens when you jump into the air?
Why does this happen?
                 2.What would happen if you jumped into the air on the moon?
3.    Would a golfer be able to hit a golf ball further, or not as far, on the moon? Why?
4.    Walking on the moon is different to walking on earth. This is because the force of gravity is not as strong and so does not pull down on your mass as strongly. Write a short description of what you think it would be like to walk on the moon.
5.    When astronauts carry out repairs on the space station, they have to be very tightly secured. Why do they have to be so tightly secured to the space station?

  1. 1.gravity pulls you down.2.you would,after a while, float back down.3.Further because there is less gravitational pull on the moon.4.I think it would be like flying in the air.5.I think they're screwed on tightly is so that it doesn't come out.

  2. 1. When you jump in the air you go about 10cm in the air and the force of gravity pulls you down.

    2. If you jump in the air on the moon you will go about 3 feet in the air and the gravity will pull you down slowly.

    3. Yes because there is less gravity in space which will pull the ball down slower.

    4. I think it will be more slower and when you walk 1 step it would have been about 5 steps on Earth. So I think it will be exciting.

    5. They have to be secured tightly so they will not fly off into space and they will die.

  3. 1.When you jump you will fall down again.
    2. You will fly for some time and then slowely come down.
    3.No he wouldn't able to do it, because the gravity would't let him.
    4. It would be just like flying,or like be a swiming mermaid.
    5.because they will fell down and stay at space forever.

  4. When you jump in the air gravity is pulling you down and your trying to jump up so let's say I wanted to jump up gravity is pulling me down and I want jump up.
