5.PS2.3-4 Gravity, Mass and Distance

Front

What happens to the pull of gravity as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The pull of gravity decreases.

Front

What force is needed to move an object that has more mass?

Back

More force is needed.

Front

How does gravity affect a paper airplane thrown by Mr. Turner?

Back

Gravity pulls the airplane down towards the ground.

Front

What is the term for the amount of material in an object that affects gravitational force?

Back

Mass.

Front

Why would a person weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

Back

Because the Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

More mass means a stronger gravitational pull.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravity?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational pull decreases.

Front

What would happen to your weight if you traveled to a planet with more mass than Earth?

Back

You would weigh more due to stronger gravity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravity.
