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

How does distance affect the pull of gravity?

Back

As the distance between two objects increases, the pull of gravity decreases.

Front

True or False: Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.

Back

True

Front

What does a scale measure?

Back

A scale measures weight.

Front

What holds all of the planets in orbit around the sun?

Back

Gravity holds all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Front

Which of the following changes with different gravitational forces: mass, weight, or volume?

Back

Weight changes with different gravitational forces.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object's mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = m × g).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What happens to weight on the Moon compared to Earth?

Back

Weight is less on the Moon due to its weaker gravitational force.
