Gravity

Front

What is the SI unit used to measure force?

Back

newtons

Front

What are the two factors affecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects?

Back

mass and distance

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

It increases.

Front

What happens to the pull of gravity as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

It decreases.

Front

Which model has greater gravitational attraction if both have the same mass?

Back

Model A (if it is closer to the other object).

Front

Define gravity.

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Greater mass results in a greater gravitational force.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

Greater distance results in a weaker gravitational force.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.

Front

How does gravity affect objects in free fall?

Back

All objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate due to gravity.
