Gravity Helps The Ball Spin But If We Had No Gravity Then The Ball Would Not Be Able To Spin Like It Usually Does

The document discusses the concepts of gravity and friction, explaining how gravity affects the motion of objects like a spinning ball. It includes a table for students to rank celestial objects by gravitational force, with the sun being the largest and having the greatest gravitational pull. Additionally, it poses questions for students to explore the gravitational pull of various objects in the solar system.

Gravity and friction

Gravity helps the ball spin but if we had no


gravity then the ball would not be able to
spin like it usually does.

I think it would be released from the string and fall onto the
ground and spin a little then stop so it will not have motion
anymore
