Gravity

Front

What happens to the pull of gravity as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The pull of gravity decreases.

Front

What does a scale measure when determining weight?

Back

Mass.

Front

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

Back

Because Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object.

Front

Which of the following remains constant in different gravitational fields: weight or mass?

Back

Mass.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

More mass results in a stronger gravitational pull.

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force exerted by gravity on an object.

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 the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = mg).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².
