5.PS2.3-4 Gravity, Mass and Distance

Front

What does the force of gravity do to objects?

Back

The force of gravity pulls objects together.

Front

Why do Sam and Tom describe the direction of gravity as 'down'?

Back

Because gravity pulls everything toward the center of the Earth.

Front

Which object has the strongest gravitational pull when both have the same mass?

Back

The object that is closer to the Sun has the strongest gravitational pull.

Front

What is the SI unit used to measure force?

Back

The SI unit used to measure force is newtons.

Front

It takes ________ force to move an object that has more mass?

Back

It takes more force to move an object that has more mass.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other.

Front

How does distance affect gravity?

Back

The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Front

What happens to the force of gravity if the mass of an object increases?

Back

The force of gravity increases if the mass of an object increases.

Front

What is the relationship between gravity and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
