Phases
| # | Phase Name | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intro | ~3s | Title "Gravity" appears with a simple Earth icon |
| 2 | Setup | ~3s | A heavy bowling ball and a light feather appear side by side at the top |
| 3 | The Question | ~3s | Text: "Which falls faster?" with a question mark |
| 4 | Drop | ~4s | Both objects drop simultaneously, landing at the same time |
| 5 | Reveal | ~4s | "Same speed!" label appears; arrow shows equal acceleration |
| 6 | Formula | ~4s | g = 9.8 m/s² appears with a simple explanation |
| 7 | Outro | ~3s | Summary: "Gravity pulls everything equally!" |
