Gravity

Front

What two factors determine the gravity of an object?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

Is the force of gravity on an object a push or a pull?

Back

Pull.

Front

What happens to gravity when mass increases?

Back

More mass equals more gravity.

Front

When are the forces of gravity between two objects the greatest?

Back

When the masses of both objects are large and the objects are close together.

Front

Does an object with mass have gravity?

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational force decreases.

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

G is approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does gravity affect objects in free fall?

Back

All objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of their mass.

Front

What is weight in terms of gravity?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as weight = mass * gravitational acceleration.
