Gravity

Front

What two things determine the gravity of an object?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts objects towards each other.

Front

What keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?

Back

Gravity.

Front

True or False: Any object with mass has gravity.

Back

True.

Front

The planet Mars has less gravity than Earth. This is because Mars has ___________ mass than the planet Earth.

Back

Less.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

More mass means stronger gravity.

Front

What is the effect of distance on gravity?

Back

Greater distance weakens the gravitational pull.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force of gravity acting on an object.

Front

How does gravity affect falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth at 9.8 m/s².
