PSQ: Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Front

What determines the strength of gravitational pull?

Back

The strength of gravitational pull is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

Which object has the strongest gravitational pull?

Back

The Sun has the strongest gravitational pull among the options provided.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the unit of weight?

Back

The unit of weight is Newton (N).

Front

What is the unit of mass?

Back

The unit of mass is gram (g).

Front

How does mass affect weight?

Back

As mass increases, weight also increases, assuming the gravitational force remains constant.

Front

What happens to weight if gravitational force changes?

Back

Weight changes with different gravitational forces; it is directly proportional to the gravitational force acting on the object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

As mass decreases, the gravitational force exerted by the object also decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight (W) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g).
