Gravity Homework

Front

What is gravity?

Back

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

Front

What determines the strength of gravity?

Back

The strength of gravity is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

Which has more mass, the Earth or the Moon?

Back

Earth has more mass than the Moon.

Front

What is the gravitational field?

Back

The gravitational field is a region around a mass where other masses experience a force of attraction.

Front

Which has a larger gravitational field than the Earth?

Back

The Sun has a larger gravitational field than the Earth.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

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

Front

What happens to gravitational force as distance increases?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

Which has a stronger force of gravity, the Earth or the Moon?

Back

The Earth has a stronger force of gravity than the Moon.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects in free fall?

Back

Objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth due to gravity, at approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity.
