Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards one another.

Front

Which statement about gravity is true?

Back

Gravity causes objects to pull towards one another.

Front

When will the forces of gravity between two objects be the GREATEST?

Back

When the masses of both objects are large and the objects are close together.

Front

What does mass measure?

Back

Mass measures how much matter makes up an object.

Front

Which has more mass, Earth or the Moon?

Back

Earth has more mass than the Moon.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

Does the mass of an object change in different gravitational fields?

Back

No, the mass of an object does not change in different gravitational fields.

Front

What happens to the weight of an object if gravity increases?

Back

The weight of the object increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Gravity.

Front

What is an example of gravity in action?

Back

An apple falling from a tree is an example of gravity in action.
