Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, which does not change regardless of location.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

As mass increases, the gravitational force between two objects also increases.

Front

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, which can change based on location, while mass is constant.

Front

Where is your mass greater, on Earth or on the Moon?

Back

Your mass is the same on both Earth and the Moon.

Front

Which has more mass, Earth or the Moon?

Back

Earth has more mass than the Moon.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as distance increases?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the gravitational force on Earth?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of gravity in the solar system?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun and moons in orbit around planets.
