FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation?

Back

It states that every point mass attracts every other point mass in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for calculating the force of gravity between two objects?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r², where F is the force of gravity, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between their centers.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the Universal Gravitation Constant (G) represent?

Back

It is a proportionality constant used in the calculation of gravitational force between two masses.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the value of the Universal Gravitation Constant (G)?

Back

6.67 x 10^-11 Nm²/kg².

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does distance affect the force of gravity between two objects?

Back

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the two objects.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the gravitational field strength near the surface of the Earth?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the gravitational force if the distance between two objects is doubled?

Back

The gravitational force becomes one-fourth as strong.
