Law of Gravitation

Front

What happens to the gravitational force if the distance between two objects is doubled?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 4 times smaller.

Front

If two objects are attracted to each other with 36 N of gravitational force, what would the force be if the distance is doubled?

Back

The gravitational force would be 9 N.

Front

What is the effect on gravitational force when one mass (m1) is increased by 2 times?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 2F.

Front

What did Newton state about the interaction between any two masses?

Back

Any two masses will attract each other.

Front

What is Newton's Law of Gravitation?

Back

F = Gm1m2/r²

Front

What is the universal gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N(m/kg)².

Front

How does gravitational force change with mass?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

Front

How does gravitational force change with distance?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force between two objects?

Back

F = G(m1*m2)/r².

Front

What is the significance of the gravitational force in the universe?

Back

It governs the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light.
