Gravity

Front

What determines the strength of the gravitational force between two objects?

Back

The strength of the gravitational force is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

What happens to the gravitational force if the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The gravitational force decreases as the distance between the two objects increases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

If two objects have the same mass, how does their distance affect the gravitational force between them?

Back

If two objects have the same mass, increasing the distance between them will decrease the gravitational force.

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

What would happen to the weight of an object if it were taken to the Moon?

Back

The weight of an object would decrease on the Moon due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

All objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?

Back

The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r², where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.
