Gravitational Forces

Front

What is the basic equation for the law of gravity?

Back

F = G x M1 x M2 / R^2

Front

How does the distance between two objects affect their gravitational pull?

Back

Greater distance decreases the force.

Front

Which planet exerts the strongest gravitational pull at its surface?

Back

Jupiter.

Front

What SI unit is used when describing weight?

Back

Newton.

Front

What characteristic of Jupiter is most related to a strong gravitational pull?

Back

Compared to Earth, Jupiter is huge and has greater force to attract objects.

Front

What does 'G' represent in the law of gravity?

Back

G represents the gravitational constant.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational force?

Back

Greater mass increases the gravitational force between two objects.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and mass?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

Front

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

Back

The gravitational force increases by a factor of four.
