Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = mg).

What happens to gravity as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

Gravity decreases as the distance increases.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum, regardless of their mass.
