Gravitation

Front

What states that "every object in the universe attracts every other object"?

Back

Law of Universal Gravitation

Front

If I double the distance between two objects, what happens to their gravitational Force?

Back

4x smaller

Front

Two objects are attracted to each other with 36 N of gravitational force. What would the force between them be if the distance between them were doubled?

Back

9 N

Front

What is the formula for the Law of Universal Gravitation?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

Front

What is the value of the Universal Gravitational Constant (G)?

Back

6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Front

What did Cavendish's experiment with lead balls measure?

Back

Universal Gravitational Constant, G, and therefore the mass of earth

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The attractive force between two masses.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with greater mass.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as distance increases.

Front

What is the gravitational force of the Sun on the Earth?

Back

3.52 x 10^22 N
