Gravity

Front

What is the force that keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?

Back

Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in orbit around the sun.

Front

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

Back

A person would weigh more on Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass, resulting in stronger gravity.

Front

When is the gravitational force between two objects the least?

Back

The gravitational force is the least when the masses of both objects are small and the objects are far apart.

Front

True or False: Any object with mass is surrounded by a gravitational field.

Back

True.

Front

When is the gravitational force between two objects the greatest?

Back

The gravitational force is greatest when the masses of both objects are large and the objects are close together.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward one another.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What role does distance play in gravitational attraction?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

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