Gravitational Force Equation

Front

What is the Gravitational Force Equation?

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 their centers.

Front

What happens to gravitational force if both masses are doubled?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 4 times bigger.

Front

What is the relationship between gravitational force and distance?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What are the two main factors affecting gravitational force?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What does the gravitational constant (G) represent?

Back

It is a proportionality constant used in the gravitational force equation, approximately equal to 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2.

Front

How does gravitational force behave between two massive spheres?

Back

It is always an attraction and depends on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

If you weigh more on Earth than on Mars, why is that?

Back

Earth has a greater mass than Mars, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull.

Front

What is the effect of increasing distance on gravitational attraction?

Back

As distance increases, the gravitational attraction decreases.

Front

What is the formula to calculate gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2.

Front

What happens to gravitational force if the distance is halved?

Back

The gravitational force becomes 4 times greater.
