5.PS2.3 Gravity Review

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other, keeping us on the ground and causing objects to fall.

Front

What does gravity do?

Back

Gravity keeps us and other objects on Earth from floating into space.

Front

Is gravity the same everywhere on Earth?

Back

Yes, gravity is always the same no matter what country you are in on Earth.

Front

What happens to objects with less mass in terms of movement?

Back

Objects with less mass will move more easily than those with more mass.

Front

What direction does gravity pull objects on Earth?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of material in an object, which affects the strength of the gravitational force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

The strength of the gravitational force is based on the amount of mass in the objects.

Front

What is the effect of distance on gravity?

Back

The strength of gravity decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What keeps planets in orbit around the Sun?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the Sun by pulling them toward it.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in the object.
