What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, pulling them closer together.

Front

True or False: Engineers depend on mathematics when creating a product.

Back

False

Front

What force pulls objects towards the Earth?

Back

Gravitational force.

Front

How can you decrease the amount of kinetic energy of a falling object?

Back

By slowing the device down as it is falling.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts.

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 air resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object through the air, acting in the opposite direction to the object's velocity.
