weight = mass x gravity

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravity

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

Gravitational force increases.

Front

Why can astronauts jump and float a little on the Moon?

Back

Because the Moon's gravity is NOT that STRONG.

Front

Why does a person weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

Back

The Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity.

Front

What must you do to reduce the mass of a piece of matter?

Back

Remove some matter.

Front

What is the weight of a 50 kg object on Earth?

Back

490 N (Weight = Mass x Gravity, where gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s²).

Front

If the gravitational force on Jupiter is more than 2 times that on Earth, what would be the weight of a 50 kg object on Jupiter?

Back

980 N.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass.
