Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

As mass increases, gravitational force increases.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

As distance increases, gravitational force decreases.

Front

Why do astronauts appear to bounce on the moon?

Back

Because there is less gravity on the moon.

Front

Do bigger planets like Jupiter have less gravity?

Back

False, bigger planets have more gravity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

More mass means more gravitational force.

Front

What happens to gravitational force if two objects are moved further apart?

Back

The gravitational force decreases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the gravitational force on Earth?

Back

The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
