Front

What is the definition of gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.

Front

What is the significance of the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

The gravitational constant (G) is a key quantity in Newton's law of universal gravitation, representing the strength of gravity in the universe.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is an ellipse in the context of orbits?

Back

An ellipse is a closed curve that is symmetric about two axes, representing the path of an object in orbit around another object.
