Forces: Gravity - a non-contact force

Reason For Learning

On the Giant Drop on the Gold Coast, passengers fall 120 metres (39 storeys) in 5 seconds, reaching speeds up to 135 km/h! A magnetic braking system stops them just before they hit the ground. In everyday life, you don't experience gravity quite as dramatically as these passengers, but you do feel its effects every minute.
