5.PS2.4 Review Interactions with Gravity

Front

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects as their masses decrease?

Back

The gravitational force decreases.

Front

How does the gravitational force change if the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The gravitational force decreases.

Front

All objects exert a force on each other, but this force is extremely small unless the objects are _____________.

Back

large.

Front

What is the amount of matter in an object called?

Back

Mass.

Front

The more mass an object has, the _____ gravity is applied to that object.

Back

more.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Greater mass results in a stronger gravitational force.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.

Front

If two objects have the same mass, how does the distance between them affect the gravitational force?

Back

Increasing the distance decreases the gravitational force.

Front

What is the formula for 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.
