PLEASE HELP DUE TODAY

Imagine you are an alien from a distant galaxy. Your home planet does not have any gravity. You have just landed on Earth and make a few observations about the planet.

1) What are some ways you might first observe gravity?

2) How might you test gravitational force?

3) How would you describe gravity to other aliens back at your home planet?

Use details to support your answer.

Answer:

1. some ways I might first observe gravity are... when I first arrive on earth I will see everything staying in one place on the ground and nothing will be floating

everywhere.

2. I might test gravitional force by jumping and seeing how fast I come down or by taking something and dropping it from above my head to the ground to see that it falls and doesn't float.

3.I woukd describe gravity to other aliens back at my home planet by #1 telling them that nothing floats, everything touches the ground and if u drop something from high above you will instantly/immediately fall back down to the ground.
