5.PS2.4 Review Interactions with Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. It is what keeps us on the ground and causes objects to fall.

Front

Which object has the strongest gravitational pull?

Back

The object with the strongest gravitational pull is the one with the most mass, like a bowling ball compared to lighter objects.

Front

What happens to gravitational force when distance increases?

Back

The gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms or grams.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, which can change depending on the gravitational pull of the planet.

Front

Which animal is pulled by gravity with the most force?

Back

A cow is pulled by gravity with more force than lighter animals like a duck or an otter.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational pull?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull on other objects.

Front

What is an example of an object with weak gravitational pull?

Back

A feather has a weak gravitational pull compared to heavier objects.

Front

How does gravity affect falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes all objects to fall towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of their mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravitational Acceleration (W = m x g).
