THE GRAVITRON
Description of ride: You enter the spaceship and lay on the inside of its walls it starts to spin and retains a constant velocity. It is spinning so fast it makes you feel heavy, like you are being pushed with such great force that you struggle to move.
NEWTONS LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
NLUG shows that even though the mass of the objects are a mass of heavy or light weight it is not possible for an object to appear to be weightless, even if the masses are the same. The force of gravity is always constant meaning and object will have weight since a force can act upon it. All objects have to have some magnitude of mass in order to have movement or a force that makes it feel weightless or heavy.
ex:
equation: Fg= G(m1)(m2)/d^2
you have two masses & G= universal gravitational constant
m1: .021 kg
m2: .021 kg
G: 6.67 x 10^-11
6.67 x 10^-11(.021)(.021)/(1)^2= 2.94147 x 10^-14
= .0000000000000294147 

Edward has a mass of 59.3kg and Bella has a mass of 52.6kg. Edward and Bella are standing 10.3m apart in a mass-less meadow. Bella looks up and sees Edward. Shes feels and attraction.
If the gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 find its magnitude in the unit of N.  
equation: Fg= G(m1)(m2)/d^2 D= 10.3
m1= 59.3
m2= 52.6
G= 6.67 x 10^-11

6.67 x 10^-11(59.3)(52.6)/ (10.3)^2
= 1.961064247 x 10^-9
= .000000001961064247

If an object retains a constant speed. Is there a net force on the object as it rounds a curve during its travel?
(a) yes
(b) no
(c) possibly
ans (b) 

What does NLUG stand for and what is the universal gravitation constant?
Newtons law of Universal Gravitation & G= 6.67 x10^-11
