Gravity

Front

What is the amount of matter in an object called?

Back

Mass

Front

Why does a ball fall to the ground?

Back

Earth's force of gravity is GREATER than the ball's, so the ball gets attracted to the ground.

Front

What happens to the gravity between two objects as they move farther apart?

Back

The gravity becomes weaker.

Front

As the distance between two objects increases, what happens to the pull of gravity?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What force holds all of the planets in orbit around the sun?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is weight?

Back

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

Front

How does gravity affect objects in free fall?

Back

All objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate due to gravity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravity (W = m x g).
