Weight and Gravity Assignment

Front

What is gravitational attraction?

Back

The force that pulls two objects toward each other due to their mass.

Front

Which model has greater gravitational attraction?

Back

Model A has greater gravitational attraction than Model B.

Front

What two factors affect gravitational force?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force exerted on an object due to gravity.

Front

What unit do we measure force in?

Back

Newtons.

Front

If you increase the mass of two objects, what happens to the gravitational pull?

Back

The gravitational pull will increase.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = m × g).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational force decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Greater mass results in greater gravitational force.
