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

Is gravity a push or a pull?

Back

Gravity is a pull.

Front

What happens to gravity when the mass of an object increases?

Back

When the mass of an object increases, the gravitational pull it exerts also increases.

Front

How does distance affect gravity?

Back

The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

More mass means more gravity; less mass means less gravity.

Front

When will the gravitational force between two objects be the least?

Back

When the masses of both objects are small and the objects are far apart.

Front

What is an example of a large mass that has a strong gravitational pull?

Back

The Earth is an example of a large mass that has a strong gravitational pull.

Front

What is the gravitational pull between two objects if one has a very small mass and the other has a very large mass?

Back

The gravitational pull will still exist, but it will be weaker compared to two large masses.

Front

Which has a greater gravitational attraction: two large objects close together or two small objects far apart?

Back

Two large objects close together have a greater gravitational attraction.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes objects to fall towards the Earth at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s².
