Universal Law of Gravity

Front

What is the Universal Law of Gravity?

Back

The Universal Law of Gravity states that every object with mass attracts every other object with mass in the universe.

Front

True or False: Every object with mass is gravitationally attracted to each other object with mass in the entire universe.

Back

True

Front

What does the Law of Universal Gravitation state?

Back

It states that every object in the universe attracts every other object.

Front

According to Newton's third law of motion, what is the relationship between the forces of attraction between two objects?

Back

They are equal in magnitude.

Front

Which model has greater gravitational attraction if any: Model A or Model B?

Back

Model A.

Front

What changes with different gravitational forces: mass, amount of matter in an object, weight, or kilograms?

Back

Weight.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects with mass.

Front

What factors affect the strength of gravitational attraction?

Back

The mass of the objects and 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 weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity (W = m * g).
