Mass & Weight - Gravity

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass, measured in newtons.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Which planet has the strongest gravitational pull?

Back

The sun has the strongest gravitational pull among the options provided.

Front

What does a scale measure?

Back

A scale measures weight.

Front

What causes tides in the ocean?

Back

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's ocean waters.

Front

What is the gravitational pull of the Earth?

Back

The gravitational pull of the Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

Where do we live?

Back

We live on Earth.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for weight?

Back

The unit of measurement for weight is newtons.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational pull?

Back

The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational pull between them.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, weight increases.
