Gravity

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

Gravitational force increases.

Front

Which system has a greater gravitational pull between two objects?

Back

The system with the greater mass has a greater gravitational pull.

Front

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

Back

The pull of gravity decreases.

Front

What is the force of gravity acting on an object called?

Back

Weight.

Front

Why would a person weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

Back

The Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies toward each other.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G is approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does gravity affect objects in free fall?

Back

All objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of their mass.
