Now March is coming to and end, and 2021 seems to fly. We had been continuing on the topic: motions. This time, we learned about gravity, and friction in our daily lives. Most of these information is from “Everything you need to know to ace science in one big fat note book”. Force is everywhere. We see and use force everyday. For example, gravity.

Larger mass has more gravity (like humans), because the strength of gravity depends on both the mass and the distance between masses. Object that are closet to you will pull on you with more gravity. Gravity is also what keeps the earth circling around the sun. The sun has so much mass that it exerts a gravitatio...
