Gravity

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

Which statement about gravity is true?

Back

Gravity causes objects to pull towards one another.

Front

How does distance affect the pull of gravity?

Back

As distance between objects increases, the pull of gravity decreases.

Front

When is the gravitational force between two objects the greatest?

Back

When the masses of both objects are large and the objects are close together.

Front

What happens to gravity in space?

Back

Gravity exists in space, but its strength decreases with distance.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravity?

Back

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

Front

Can gravity act over long distances?

Back

Yes, gravity can act over long distances, but its strength decreases with distance.

Front

What is the gravitational force between two objects with small mass?

Back

The gravitational force is weak between two objects with small mass.

Front

What role does gravity play in the solar system?

Back

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
