The first experiments demonstrating the universality of free-fall were—according to scientific 'folklore'—conducted by Galileo obtained by dropping objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This is most likely apocryphal: he is more likely to have performed his experiments with balls rolling down nearly frictionless inclined planes to slow the motion and increase the timing accuracy. Increasingly precise experiments have been performed, such as those performed by Loránd Eötvös, [7] using the torsion balance pendulum, in 1889. As of 2008 [update], no deviation from universality, and thus from Galilean equivalence, has ever been found, at least to the precision 10 −6. More precise experimental efforts are still being carried out. [8] Astronaut David Scott performs the feather and hammer drop experiment on the Moon. When a physical quantity is equated with its dimensional formula, it is an expression that denotes the powers to which the fundamental units are raised to obtain a unit of a derived quantity. W n n = W m m {\displaystyle {\frac {W_{n}}{n}}={\frac {W_{m}}{m}}} , or equivalently W n W m = n m . {\displaystyle {\frac {W_{n}}{W_{m}}}={\frac {n}{m}}.} In 1600 AD, Johannes Kepler sought employment with Tycho Brahe, who had some of the most precise astronomical data available. Using Brahe's precise observations of the planet Mars, Kepler spent the next five years developing his own method for characterizing planetary motion. In 1609, Johannes Kepler published his three laws of planetary motion, explaining how the planets orbit the Sun. In Kepler's final planetary model, he described planetary orbits as following elliptical paths with the Sun at a focal point of the ellipse. Kepler discovered that the square of the orbital period of each planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, or equivalently, that the ratio of these two values is constant for all planets in the Solar System. [note 5] Although inertial mass, passive gravitational mass and active gravitational mass are conceptually distinct, no experiment has ever unambiguously demonstrated any difference between them. In classical mechanics, Newton's third law implies that active and passive gravitational mass must always be identical (or at least proportional), but the classical theory offers no compelling reason why the gravitational mass has to equal the inertial mass. That it does is merely an empirical fact.

Passive gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of an object's interaction with a gravitational field. Passive gravitational mass is determined by dividing an object's weight by its free-fall acceleration. Two objects within the same gravitational field will experience the same acceleration; however, the object with a smaller passive gravitational mass will experience a smaller force (less weight) than the object with a larger passive gravitational mass.Intermolecular force: The force that is applied between the molecules is called the intermolecular forces. These intermolecular forces are applied in a constant manner so as to maintain the stability of the molecule. where W is the weight of the collection of similar objects and n is the number of objects in the collection. Proportionality, by definition, implies that two values have a constant ratio: Work done: Work done by a constant force is the work done by a constant force of 2 Newtons on an object having a mass of 3 kilograms.

Cycling: Cycling can also be considered as an example of constant force. In a condition, To keep the speed of the cycle constant, it is required to apply a force in a constant manner. Therefore a constant force is applied. Buoyant force (Up-thrust): When a body is floating over liquid, it experiences a force of buoyancy, which acts in a constant manner to maintain the stability of the object over the liquid. The force is said to be a natural existence or phenomenon that can cause a change in the motion or rest state of a body. Moreover, the force applied in the form of stress may cause a change in the dimension of the object. Hooke’s Law explained the principle of stress. According to this law, the stress imposed on a body will be directly proportional to the strain causing that body. Hooke’s law postulated the spring’s constant, in which the spring length is increased as much as the force is applied to stretch it. Therefore, the spring constant is also called the force constant. Force Galileo found that for an object in free fall, the distance that the object has fallen is always proportional to the square of the elapsed time: Pinto, Sebastián, Pablo Balenzuela, and Claudio O.

Browne: "Kepler formed a [distinct] concept of mass ('amount of matter' ( copia materiae)), but called it 'weight' as did everyone at that time." [9] Finally, in 1686, Newton gave this distinct concept its own name. In the first paragraph of Principia, Newton defined quantity of matter as “density and bulk conjunctly”, and mass as quantity of matter. [13]The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less than it does on Earth because of the lower gravity, but it would still have the same mass. This is because weight is a force, while mass is the property that (along with gravity) determines the strength of this force. In physical science, one may distinguish conceptually between at least seven different aspects of mass, or seven physical notions that involve the concept of mass. [5] Every experiment to date has shown these seven values to be proportional, and in some cases equal, and this proportionality gives rise to the abstract concept of mass. There are a number of ways mass can be measured or operationally defined: The force is equal to the product of the mass of the body to that of the acceleration produced in the body. Therefore, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to that of the force applied over the body. i.e., the greater the force will be applied, the greater will be the acceleration produced in the body. On the other hand, with the increase in the mass of the body, there will be a decrease in acceleration. Constant Force As stated previously, the mole is a unit that relates a variety of measurements to one another and to chemically-significantquantities. The previous sections of this chapter have defined and discussed Avogadro's number, 6.02× 10 23, which quantifies the number of individual atoms, ions, or moleculesthat are present within a substance, and" component within" molar quantities, whichindicate the relative ratios of the elements that are present within a compound or molecule.

As stated earlier, the constant force is directly proportional to that of acceleration produced in a body. Moreover, the direction of the constant force will be in the direction of the acceleration.The force known as "weight" is proportional to mass and acceleration in all situations where the mass is accelerated away from free fall. For example, when a body is at rest in a gravitational field (rather than in free fall), it must be accelerated by a force from a scale or the surface of a planetary body such as the Earth or the Moon. This force keeps the object from going into free fall. Weight is the opposing force in such circumstances and is thus determined by the acceleration of free fall. On the surface of the Earth, for example, an object with a mass of 50kilograms weighs 491 newtons, which means that 491 newtons is being applied to keep the object from going into free fall. By contrast, on the surface of the Moon, the same object still has a mass of 50kilograms but weighs only 81.5newtons, because only 81.5 newtons is required to keep this object from going into a free fall on the moon. Restated in mathematical terms, on the surface of the Earth, the weight W of an object is related to its mass m by W = mg, where g = 9.80665m/s 2 is the acceleration due to Earth's gravitational field, (expressed as the acceleration experienced by a free-falling object). Section 1.1 defined and discussed mass, volume, length, temperature, and time. These five quantitiesare collectively known as "principle measurable quantities," because they are fundamental scientific measurements that can be combined to create additional units. When considered specifically in terms of chemical measurements, neither length nor time have practical applications. However, the masses, volumes, and temperatures of chemicals can be utilized in a multitude of contexts and, therefore, are all significant values.Unfortunately, recording volume and temperature data for certain classificationsof chemicals can be challenging, which diminishes their scientific value. In contrast, measurements related to mass are not restricted by the properties of the chemical that is being considered. As a result, mass,whichis defined as the amount of substance contained in an object, is the principle measurable propertythat is most often applied to chemical concepts.
