    An astounding read‚ the Gravity Journal was a tear-jerking novel about the mental battle fought by‚ young Anise. A 16 year old girl who views herself as fat and ugly‚ although she is skin and bones‚ and she also self-mutilates when her depression becomes overwhelming. She comes from a rich but very dysfunctional family; she never calls her parents by any name except "Loathed" for her mother and "Witless" for her father‚ and they seem to fit the nicknames perfectly. Her mother‚ interested only in

    Acceleration Due to Gravity Have you ever wondered why items always speed up when they are falling? Well it all has to do with acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration can be calculated by finding the change in velocity and dividing it over the time. The equation is: a= ∆v∆t (“Acceleration”) Acceleration is also a vector because it has a direction. The units of acceleration are typically m/s2. Gravity is the force that attracts

    The Effects of Gravity There are some people who worry that when they ’re outside‚ if they don ’t keep a good grip on the ground‚ they ’ll just go flinging off into space. They needn ’t really worry about this‚ because gravity generally keeps that sort of thing from happening. The thing is‚ no one is really sure what causes gravity‚ but the effects have been studied by many physicists and astronomers. Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling down‚ weight

    Definition Gravity Survey - Measurements of the gravitational field at a series of different locations over an area of interest. The objective in exploration work is to associate variations with differences in the distribution of densities and hence rock types. Occasionally the whole gravitational field is measured or derivatives of the gravitational field‚ but usually the difference between the gravity field at two points is measured Geophysical interpretations from gravity surveys are based

    Determination of the Acceleration Due to Gravity By A Good Student   Abstract   The acceleration due to gravity‚ g‚ was determined by dropping a metal bearing and measuring the free-fall time with a pendulum of known period.  The measured value is 9.706 m/s2 with a standard deviation of 0.0317‚ which does not fall within the range of known terrestrial values.  Centrifugal forces and altitude variations cannot account for the discrepancy.  The calculation is very sensitive to the measured drop
