Front

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

Back

The force of gravity decreases.

Front

If an object has a mass of 36 kg on Earth, what is its mass on the Moon?

Back

Its mass remains 36 kg.

Front

True or False: Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.

Back

True.

Front

Complete the statement: The farther away two planets are, the _______ the gravitational force between them.

Back

less.

Front

What is the value of one 'g' on Earth in terms of acceleration?

Back

9.81 N/kg.

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force that exists between any two masses.

Front

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

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 gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.
