Gravitational Force Equation

Front

What are the two factors affecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 13 kg on Earth?

Back

127.4 N.

Front

What is the formula to calculate weight?

Back

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity.

Front

If Luke Skywalker weighs 127.4 N on Earth, what would his weight be on the Endor moon with an acceleration due to gravity of 2 m/s²?

Back

26 N.

Front

Which planet would you weigh more on if the mass on Mars is 6.4 x 10²³ kg and the mass on Earth is 6.0 x 10²⁴ kg?

Back

Earth.

Front

What is the gravitational force between two objects with masses of 2300 kg and 4000 kg separated by a distance of 0.150 m?

Back

0.027 N.

Front

How does the force of gravity change as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The force decreases.

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

Front

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

Back

The gravitational force increases.
