Claim: The gravitational pull of the earth along with friction causes objects to fall to earth.

E 1:  On page 54 of the Discovery Education  Science Techbook, the author states in the first paragraph, “Friction sometimes can have the effect of slowing down objects or keeping them from sliding around. When this occurs, the satellite slows down and is overcome by the force of gravity, which pulls the satellite toward Earth”





E 2:  A second piece of evidence can be derived from page 14 of the Discovery Techbook, where it is shown that a satellite was being hit by particles over 30 years, which caused it to lose momentum and succumb to the gravitational pull of Earth and fall towards it.

R: The first piece of evidence supports the claim by proving the claim, stating that friction can have the effect of slowing objects down.  For example, when a satellite slows down due to friction, it will lose the momentum to stay in an orbit around the Earth, and will begin to fall towards the Earth.  All objects must have a specific amount of motion to stay in an orbit, and as they fall below that threshold to be in an orbit, they will fall.  After the satellite loses its speed, it will succumb to the gravitational pull of the Earth, and gravity will begin to draw the satellite towards the Earth’s core.

R: The second piece of evidence further supports the claim by showing how particles hit the satellite.  The evidence proves that friction slowed down the satellite to the point where it could not maintain its orbit and constant motion.  The video also demonstrates how due to the satellite slowing down because of friction, the satellite succumbs to the Earth’s gravitational pull and begins to fall towards it, as the Earth’s core begins to pull the satellite towards itself.
