Gravity: Beat the Teacher

Front

What did the experiment with the feather and hammer on the Moon show?

Back

Feathers and hammers fall at the same rate on the Moon.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on falling objects?

Back

It makes objects fall slower.

Front

When will the forces of gravity between two objects be the GREATEST?

Back

When the masses of both objects are large and the objects are close together.

Front

Which of the following will NOT change in different gravities?

Back

Mass.

Front

The gravitational attraction between two objects would increase if both masses are –

Back

Increased, and the distance between them is decreased.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

How does mass affect gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravity?

Back

The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object through the air.

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
