Front

What is the force that objects exert on each other due to their mass?

Back

Gravity

Front

What law states that 'every object in the universe attracts every other object'?

Back

Law of Universal Gravitation

Front

If two asteroids are three times as far apart, how does the gravitational force between them change?

Back

The gravitational force becomes F/9.

Front

What is the relationship between the force of gravity and distance?

Back

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to distance.

Front

True or False: Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.

Back

True.

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 happens to gravitational force if the mass of one object increases?

Back

The gravitational force increases.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does gravity affect the motion of planets around the sun?

Back

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun.

Front

What is weight in terms of gravity?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as W = m * g.
