Nope.. they are two different things. Gue masih ingat ada 2 jenis saat pelajaran sekolah dan gak mungkin gue dan Mas Ario dua2 nya salah dalam mendefinisikan gravity.
Hah... gue sampai penasaran dan akhirnya tanya kawan gue di amrik, ternyata lu yang salah, Ri. Heeeeh ternyata science officer kita bisa salah juga. He he he... Ini bedanya: Gravitation is the attractive force existing between any two objects that have mass. The force of gravitation pulls objects together. Gravity is the gravitational force that occurs between the earth and other bodies. Gravity is the force acting to pull objects toward the earth. So, seperti film CSI bilang, the law of "gravity" hanya satu: what goes up, must come down. Masa film CSI salah.. film itu based on today's science, real science, gak pake menghayal. Ini ada lagi fact yang penting: Gravitation is actually a very weak force. The pull is too weak to be felt between two people and it is not even strong enough to pull together two lumps of lead placed right next to each other. It is ONLY when ONE of the masses is the SIZE of a planet that we can feel the force of GRAVITY. Sorry ya Ri, kali ini I believe my friend more than I believe you. Because he's a real science teacher in life. Salam, Indie --- In [email protected], ERI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Pertama, menurut saya gravity dan gravitation adalah sama. >
