Gravity

Front

When will the gravitational force between two objects be the least?

Back

When the masses of both objects are small and the objects are far apart.

Front

What is the SI unit used to measure force?

Back

Newtons.

Front

Which statement about gravity is true?

Back

Gravity causes objects to pull towards one another.

Front

Why would a person weigh more on Jupiter than on Earth?

Back

Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity.

Front

What prevents planets from being pulled into and crashing into the Sun?

Back

Inertia (Forward Motion).

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

A constant used in the calculation of gravitational force, approximately equal to 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.
