Matter In Motion - Gravity:A Force of Attraction

QuestionAnswer
What is the simplest way to find an object's center? spin it
What happens to the force of gravity between two objects as the distance between them increases? it decreases
What is the force of gravity directly related to? it is directly related to the amount of mass of the objects
What is all mass affected by? gravity
What does all matter have? mass
When is the gravitational pull greater between two objects? when they have greater masses
What is mass? a measure of the amount of matter
A student has a weight of 420 N on Earth. What is the student's weight on the moon? 70 N
What is the law of universal gravitation? gravitational force related to mass and distance
What can change with its location? an object weight
What is the force that pulls everything toward Earth's center? Earth's gravity
How much does a unit of mass weigh? a kilogram
What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass is the amount of matter in an object; weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object
What must you know in order to determine the gravitational force between two objects? their masses and distance between them
Where would you weigh the most, on a boat, on a space shuttle, or on the moon? on a boat
What is weight? a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
What is gravity? a force attraction between objects that is due to their masses and the distance between the objects
What is center of mass? the point at which an object's total mass can be considered concentrated
What changes when gravitational force changes? weight
What would be your mass if you moved to Jupiter? unchanged
What would be your weight if you moved to Jupiter? changed

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
