Gravitational Forces

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which affects gravitational forces.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational pull?

Back

Higher mass creates higher gravitational pull.

Front

What happens to gravitational pull as the product of two objects' masses increases?

Back

The pull of gravity increases.

Front

Why do we have a stronger gravitational attraction with Earth than the Sun?

Back

We are closer to the center of Earth.

Front

What is true about objects with mass?

Back

All objects with mass exert a gravitational force.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects with mass.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational force decreases.

Front

Can gravity push objects?

Back

No, gravity can only pull objects.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G is a constant used in the calculation of gravitational force, approximately equal to 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.
