6th Universal Law of Gravity

Front

What is the 6th Universal Law of Gravity?

Back

The 6th Universal Law of Gravity states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that depends on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What never changes no matter where you are in the universe?

Back

Mass never changes no matter where you are in the universe.

Front

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass?

Back

Nothing would happen to your mass; it is not affected by gravitational force.

Front

Who is credited with the law of universal gravitation?

Back

Isaac Newton is credited with the law of universal gravitation.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that objects exert on each other because of their mass.

Front

How does the mass of an object affect gravity?

Back

The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What happens to gravity on Mars compared to Earth?

Back

Gravity on Mars is much lower than on Earth because Mars has less mass.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravity?

Back

The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.

Front

How do you calculate weight?

Back

Weight can be calculated by multiplying mass by the acceleration due to gravity (Weight = Mass x Gravity).
