What is the formula for gravitational force between two masses?

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

Back

The gravitational force is reduced to one-fourth of its original value.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2, a constant used in the calculation of gravitational force.

Front

If the gravitational force between two objects is 36 N, what is the force if the distance is tripled?

Back

4 N.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

The attractive force that acts between any two masses.

Front

What is the effect of increasing one mass on gravitational force?

Back

Increasing one mass will increase the gravitational force between the two objects.

Front

What is the effect of increasing both masses on gravitational force?

Back

Increasing both masses will increase the gravitational force significantly.

Front

If two objects are 1 meter apart and the gravitational force is 36 N, what will the force be if they are 2 meters apart?

Back

9 N.
