Gravitational Energy
2
Gravity
A force that pulls objects towards the center of the earth.
It is the force that keeps us and other things on the ground.
Without the earth's gravity, all items would just float away.
3
In your Gravity Parachute trials experiment:
Gravity is the force that causes the coin to fall down to the ground.
When the parachute is attached to the coin, it falls slower because the parachute is going against the pull of gravity.
Without the parachute, the coin falls down to the ground faster.
4
Gravitational Energy
Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.
An example of this is when you are holding the coin above the floor just before you let it fall to the ground.
