Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object. It changes depending on the strength of the gravitational pull.

Front

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

Back

People weigh less on the Moon because the Moon has less mass and therefore exerts a weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change regardless of the gravitational field.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity on an object, while mass is the quantity of matter in the object.

Front

List the order of gravitational pull from weakest to strongest: pencil, dog, horse, car, train, moon, Earth.

Back

pencil, dog, horse, car, train, moon, Earth.

Front

What remains constant regardless of location in the universe?

Back

Mass remains constant no matter where you are in the universe.

Front

What happens to weight when you go to a place with less gravity?

Back

Your weight decreases in a place with less gravity.

Front

What is the gravitational pull of the Earth compared to the Moon?

Back

The Earth's gravitational pull is stronger than the Moon's due to its greater mass.

Front

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

Back

A pencil has a very weak gravitational pull compared to larger objects like Earth.
