Newton’s Apple

Feel the force of 1 Newton and learn about how we measure force.
Tough foam apples give a real feeling of what a Newton of force is equal to on Earth!
Can also be used to demonstrate the force of gravity.Learning Outcomes
Key Stage 3 Physics – Motion and Forces: Forces measured in newtons, measurements of stretch or compression as force is changed.
Key Stage 3 Physics > Matter: Gravity force, weight = mass x gravitational field strength (g), on Earth g=10 N/kg, different on other planets and stars; gravity forces between Earth and Moon, and between Earth and sun (qualitative only).
Key Stage 4 Physics – Forces and Motion: Weight and gravitational field strength: explain that weight is an effect of gravity which can vary with the gravitational field strength g (measured in N/kg) and recognise and predict phenomena that depend on weight and non inertial mass and distinguish between the two.
