What happens to the gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

It increases.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What are the two factors that affect gravity?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

Which has more mass, Earth or the Moon?

Back

Earth.

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

The force of attraction between two masses.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with mass.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as distance increases.

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 the centers of the two masses.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

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

Front

How does gravity affect objects in free fall?

Back

All objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of their mass.
