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 is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity (W = m * g).

Front

How does mass affect gravity?

Back

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

Front

How does distance affect gravity?

Back

The greater the distance between two objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

Front

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what happens to your mass?

Back

Nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force.

Front

What does a scale measure?

Back

A scale measures weight, which is the force of gravity on an object.

Front

True or False: Any object with mass has gravity.

Back

True.

Front

What are the two factors that affect the force of gravity between two objects?

Back

Mass and distance.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

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