3.1 Newton Universal Law of Gravitation F4

Front

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects if the mass of either object is increased?

Back

The gravitational force will increase.

Front

What does the Law of Universal Gravitation state?

Back

Every object in the universe attracts every other object.

Front

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to which of the following?

Back

Distance.

Front

What force keeps the moon and other satellites in orbit around the Earth?

Back

Gravity.

Front

Calculate the gravitational force between two objects when they are 0.750m apart, each with a mass of 5.00kg.

Back

2.96x10^-7 N.

Front

What is the formula for the gravitational force between two masses?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is weight in terms of gravitational force?

Back

Weight is the gravitational force acting on an object due to its mass.

Front

If the distance between two objects is doubled, what happens to the gravitational force?

Back

The gravitational force is reduced to one-fourth.
