5.PS2.4 Review Interactions with Gravity

Front

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects as their masses decrease?

Back

The gravitational force decreases.

Front

If a 1 pound, 2 pound, and 5 pound ball are dropped from the same height, which will hit the ground first?

Back

All 3 balls will hit at the same time.

Front

What two factors affect the strength of gravitational force?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What is the amount of matter in an object called?

Back

Mass.

Front

What is the term for the force that objects exert on each other, which is small unless the objects are large?

Back

Gravitational force.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational force decreases.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravity.

Front

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

Back

The gravitational force decreases.
