Front

What is the value of the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

Approximately 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N(m/kg)².

Front

How does mass affect the force of gravity?

Back

Greater mass results in a stronger gravitational force.

Front

How does distance affect the force of gravity?

Back

Greater distance results in a weaker gravitational force.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and distance?

Back

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
