Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which does not change regardless of location.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

As mass increases, the gravitational force between two objects also increases.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, which can change depending on the gravitational field.

Front

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

Back

The gravitational force becomes weaker as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity (Weight = Mass x Gravity).

Front

Can mass change in different gravitational fields?

Back

No, mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational field.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravitational Acceleration (W = m x g).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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