What is gravity?

Back

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

Why do objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

Back

Objects weigh less on the Moon because the Moon has less mass and therefore exerts less gravitational pull.

What remains constant regardless of gravitational field changes?

Back

Mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational field.

Front

How does the distance between two objects affect gravity?

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 exerted by gravity on an object, which depends on the object's mass and the gravitational field strength.

What happens to the gravitational force if the mass of one object increases?

Back

If the mass of one object increases, the gravitational force between the two objects increases.

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = m × g).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².
