⬇️ Gravity and Falling
In this quiz, you'll explore gravitational force and how it affects objects around us. Learn why objects fall toward Earth, compare how different weights behave when dropped, and understand how gravity keeps things suspended in place. These concepts help explain everyday phenomena like falling toys and hanging pictures. **What you'll learn:** - Gravity pulls all objects toward Earth - Objects of different weights fall in similar ways - Gravity affects both falling and suspended objects - Gravitational force is invisible but always present
