Gravitational Forces

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects with mass. It depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The gravitational force is stronger between more massive objects. More mass means a stronger gravitational pull.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as distance increases?

Back

As the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. It is often measured in kilograms.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It depends on the mass of the object and the gravitational pull of the planet it is on.

Front

True or False: An object with more mass exerts a greater gravitational force than an object with less mass.

Back

True.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and distance?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

The formula for gravitational force is F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.

Front

What is the gravitational force on Earth?

Back

The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s², which means that an object will accelerate towards the Earth at this rate due to gravity.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?

Back

Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground, increasing its speed until it reaches terminal velocity.
