What is the SI unit used to measure force?

Back

Newtons

Front

True or False: The relationship between the mass of an object and its weight on Earth is constant.

Back

True

Front

If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your weight?

Back

Decrease because gravitational force decreases.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = mg).

Front

What is gravitational acceleration on Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object; weight is the force of gravity on that mass.
