Newton's Law of Gravitation

Front

What are the factors that affect gravitational force?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

If one of two objects increases its mass, what happens to the gravitational pull between the two objects?

Back

It increases.

Front

As the distance between two objects increases, what happens to the pull of gravity?

Back

It decreases.

Front

How is the gravitational force between two objects related to their mass?

Back

They are directly proportional.

Front

What is the value of the gravitational constant?

Back

Front

Define Newton's Law of Gravitation.

Back

It states that every point mass attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

Front

What does the gravitational constant (G) represent?

Back

It represents the strength of the gravitational force in the universe.

Front

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

Back

The gravitational force increases by a factor of four.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and distance?

Back

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