A2 Gravitational Field Strength

A field that will apply a force to an object with mass is called a

• gravitational field

• Newton's field

• angular rotation field

• force field

In this equation...

• G is the gravitational field strength
• r is the distance between the 2 masses
• F is the repulsive gravitational force
• m is the momentum of the mass

The definition of gravitational field strength is:

• The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an attractive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an repulsive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an attractive force due to it.
• The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an repulsive force due to it.

The closer together the gravitational field lines.....

• the weaker the gravitational field strength
• the stronger the gravitational field strength
• the more repulsive the gravitational field strength
