FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The law of universal gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does distance affect gravitational force?
Back
Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases. Specifically, if the distance is doubled, the gravitational force decreases by a factor of 4.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to gravitational force if the mass of one object is doubled?
Back
If the mass of one object is doubled, the gravitational force between the two objects also doubles.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define gravitational force.
Back
Gravitational force is the attractive force that exists between any two masses, which pulls them toward each other.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?
Back
The formula for gravitational force (F) is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the gravitational constant (G)?
Back
The gravitational constant (G) is a fundamental physical constant used in the calculation of gravitational force, approximately equal to 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Explain the concept of weight in relation to gravity.
Back
Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the product of the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity (W = m * g).
