Universal Gravity

Front

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

Back

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

Front

True or False: All objects in the universe that have mass exert a gravitational pull on other objects that have mass.

Back

True.

Front

The Force of gravity is INVERSELY proportional to _________.

Back

Distance.

Front

If an object is placed exactly halfway between Earth and the moon, it will fall toward _____?

Back

Earth.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with mass.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies toward each other.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation?

Back

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

Front

What does 'inverse proportionality' mean in the context of gravity?

Back

As the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.

Front

What is the gravitational pull of the Earth on an object at its surface?

Back

Approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What happens to the gravitational force if the distance between two objects is halved?

Back

The gravitational force increases by a factor of four.
