Solar System & Gravity

Objects fall to the ground because Earth exerts an attractive force on them.

is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass

force that one object can apply to another object without touching

a region of space that has a physical quantity (such as a force) at every point

Objects that affect one another.

A force.

Objects that do not affect one another.

A hammer and my thumb.

Your weight on Earth.

How much matter in an object?

A push or pull.

The same thing as your weight.

the apple weighs more than the bowling ball

more air friction is acting on the apple than on the bowling ball

gravity pulls on both objects, causing them to fall at the same time.

The net electrical charge of the earth

The distance between the earth and the sun

The mass of the sun

The mass of the earth

his mass is so small relative to the earth that gravity doesn’t affect him.

gravitational force decreases greatly over long distances.

gravitational force pushes objects away from each other at long distances.

objects far away from the earth have less mass.

All objects with mass exert a gravitational force.

Only celestial objects exert a gravitational force.

Gravity can both push and pull objects.

Only Earth exerts a gravitational force.
