Back

6.67 x 10^-11

Front

If a bowling ball and a feather are dropped in a vacuum, which will hit the ground first?

Back

Both would hit at the same time.

Front

Which model has greater gravitational attraction if any: Model A or Model B?

Model A.

Front

Gravity keeps the moon moving in its ___________ around Earth.

Back

orbit.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force between two masses?

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 the effect of mass on gravitational attraction?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is the relationship between gravity and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as weight = mass * gravity.

Front

How does gravity affect the motion of planets?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
