Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

The gravitational force increases.

Front

How does the distance between two objects affect gravitational pull?

Back

As the distance between two objects increases, the pull of gravity decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

Why would a person weigh more on Jupiter than on Earth?

Back

Because Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity.

Front

What happens to gravity when two objects are farther apart?

Back

The gravity between them becomes weaker.

Front

What does a scale measure?

Back

A scale measures weight.

Front

What is the formula for calculating 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 of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

The gravitational constant (G) is approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects in free fall?

Back

Objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at approximately 9.81 m/s² due to gravity.
