Universal Gravitation & Proportional Reasoning

Front

What is the formula for Universal Gravitation?

Back

Front

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

Back

Halving the distance between two masses will quadruple the gravitational force.

Front

If the mass of one object is doubled, how does it affect the gravitational force?

Back

Doubling the mass of one object will double the gravitational force between the two objects.

Front

What is the effect on gravitational force if both masses are doubled?

Back

If both masses are doubled, the gravitational force will increase by a factor of four.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and distance?

Back

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of two masses.

Front

If Mass 1 is tripled and Mass 2 is quartered, what happens to the gravitational force?

Back

The gravitational force will reduce by a factor of 3/4.

Front

What is the gravitational force when the distance is doubled?

Back

If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational force will be reduced to a quarter of its original value.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

Front

What is the effect of increasing the distance on gravitational force?

Back

Increasing the distance between two masses decreases the gravitational force.
