Gravitational Force

Front

What happens to gravitational force if the distance between two objects is tripled?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 9 times smaller.

Front

What is the nature of gravitational force between two massive spheres?

Back

Gravitational force is always an attraction, depends on the masses, and inversely depends on the square of the distance between them.

Front

What happens to gravitational force if both masses are doubled but the distance remains the same?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 4 times bigger.

Front

What happens to gravitational force if the distance between two objects is doubled?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 4 times smaller.

Front

Why do you weigh less on the moon compared to Earth?

Back

You weigh less on the moon due to less gravitational pull.

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses.

Front

State Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Back

Every point mass attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

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 of the two masses.

Front

What is the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does gravitational force change with distance?

Back

Gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance between two objects.
