Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What determines the strength of gravity between two objects?

Back

The strength of gravity is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Front

What happens to gravity as the distance between two objects increases?

Back

The gravity between two objects becomes weaker as the distance between them increases.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, which depends on the object's mass and the gravitational pull of the planet.

Front

How does mass affect gravity?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity (Weight = Mass x Gravity).

Front

When is the gravitational force between two objects the greatest?

Back

The gravitational force is greatest when both objects have large masses and are close together.

Front

Why does a ball fall to the ground?

Back

A ball falls to the ground because Earth's force of gravity is greater than the ball's gravitational pull.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (W = m x g).

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².
