FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is gravitational force?
Back
Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses. It depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does distance affect gravitational force?
Back
Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases. Specifically, it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?
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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is weight?
Back
Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = m * g).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
Back
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does mass affect gravitational force?
Back
Gravitational force increases with the mass of the objects involved. More massive objects exert a stronger gravitational pull.
