6th Grade Gravity

Front

What happens to gravitational attraction as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The gravitational attraction becomes weaker.

Front

What are the two main factors that influence gravity?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

Why does Jupiter have a large number of moons?

Back

Because it has a large mass.

Front

How does distance affect the strength of gravitational attraction?

Back

The shorter the distance, the greater the gravitational attraction.

Front

How does mass influence gravitational attraction?

Back

The greater the mass, the more gravitational attraction there is.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with greater mass.

Front

What is the effect of distance on gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as distance increases.

Front

Can gravity act over long distances?

Back

Yes, gravity can act over long distances, but its strength decreases with distance.

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.
