This activity sheet offers teachers an instructional material on how to discuss Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation through guided-inquiry learning and problem solving.
Objective
1. Prove that all falling objects accelerate at constant acceleration using algebra and Laws of Motion.
2. Compute for the acceleration due to gravity, g using the Law of Universal Gravitation
3. Solve for the gravitational force between two objects

Competencies
Use algebra, newton’s 2nd
law of motion, and newton’s
law of universal gravitation to
show that, in the absence of
air resistance, objects close to
the surface of the earth fall
with identical accelerations
independent of their mass.
