Gravity Review

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

What two factors determine the strength of gravity?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

Does gravity only exist between planets?

Back

No, gravity exists between all objects with mass, regardless of their size.

Front

True or False: An object's gravity depends on its size.

Back

True.

Front

What happens to the gravitational pull if the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The gravitational pull decreases.

Front

Which has a stronger gravitational pull: a small object or a large object?

Back

A large object, because it has more mass.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational attraction?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects in space?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around stars and moons in orbit around planets.

Front

What is the gravitational force on Earth?

Back

The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object; it depends on the object's mass and the gravitational pull of the planet.
