Forces SC.6.P.13.1

Front

What happens to the gravitational force between two planets as the distance between them increases?

Back

The gravitational force decreases.

Front

What is the term for forces that cause an object to move?

Back

Unbalanced forces.

Front

According to Newton's Laws of Motion, what force causes a rolling basketball to eventually stop?

Back

Frictional force.

Front

What remains constant regardless of the gravitational field strength?

Back

Mass.

Front

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

Back

less.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object's motion?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the motion of an object.

Front

What is the formula for 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 objects.

Front

What is inertia in the context of Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does gravity affect weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass; it changes with the strength of the gravitational field.
