This week in science we learned that the more mass an object has, the more of a pull the earth has on it. We proved it by doing an experiment where one student held a bowling ball in one hand and a basketball in the other. He had a harder time holding the bowling ball in his hand. The basketball and bowling ball were about the same size but the bowling ball weighs more. That means the earth pulls more on the bowling ball but not on the basketball because it has less mass. We also learned force divided by mass equals exceleration.

This week in science we also learned that even though abjects have different masses, they will still land at the same time if you drop them at the same time. People often make the mistake of thinking the heavier object will land first but that's not true. The earth has a greater pull on the heavier object but that's only because it has more mass. The earth excerts the same amount of force on an object as the object does on the earth. It doesn't matter how much mass an abject has because the earth will match it. This is why the two objects will fall and land at the same time when dropped at the same time.
