YES, THERE IS GRAVITY IN SPACE

This week, I settled down to watching the primary episode of The one hundred. If you haven't visible the display, i'll just factor out that it takes place within the near destiny (although it ran, at the CW, within the close to past). For motives that I won't get into, there's a spacecraft with a gaggle of young adults that is traveling from a area station down to the floor of the Earth. at some stage in the reentry process, one child wishes to expose that he's the grasp of area travel and that he's first rate. So what does he do? He receives out of his seat and floats around as an indication of his mastery of weightlessness. another teen factors out that he's being quite dumb—and that he is going to get harm very quickly.

adequate, that is enough of the outline of the scene in order that we will talk about physics. The point is that there may be one dude "floating" around inside the spacecraft throughout reentry.

earlier than I over-analyze this short scene, permit me add a caveat approximately my philosophy on technological know-how and tales. i have pointed out this earlier than, so i will simply deliver a summary: The primary activity for a author of a show is to inform a story. If the writer distorts technology so that you can make the plot circulate along—so be it. but, if the technology might be accurate with out destroying the plot, then glaringly i might decide upon it.

What causes Gravity?
glaringly this scene has to do with gravity, so we should communicate about gravity—right? In short, gravity is a essential interplay among gadgets with mass. sure, any two gadgets that have mass could have a gravitational force pulling them collectively. The magnitude of this gravitational force relies upon on the distance between the items. The further aside the items get, the weaker the gravitational force. The value of this pressure additionally relies upon at the hundreds of the two objects. more mass way a more pressure
