1.31 understand gravitational field strength, g, and recall that it is different from other planets and the Moon, from that on the Earth

Questions (roll mouse over to reveal answer)
What does small 'g' stand for in the equation W = mg?
What is approximate value of 'g' on Earth?
What is approximate value of 'g' on the Moon?
What are the units for 'g'?
Why is this equation useful?
Why is 'g' different on different planets?
Which object in our solar system has the largest 'g'?
Explain why this object has the largest 'g'
Where on a planet is 'g' the greatest?
What happens to the value of 'g' as you go further away from a planet?
How does this affect your weight?
Find your mass on the bathroom scales and then find your weight on different planets (click this link: http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/), take a screen shot and upload the image to your blog
Identify the mistake on the website!
