Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What does mass measure?

Back

Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

As mass increases, the gravitational force between two objects also increases.

Front

What is the SI unit for measuring force?

Back

The SI unit for measuring force is newtons (N).

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

True or False: Any object with mass has gravity.

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, weight increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g).

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.
