Gravity and Kinetic Energy – Investigation #2 flashcards

mass=

force/acceleration

M

F/A

 If 4 m/s^2 and the force is 40 N how do you find the mass

40 N/ 4 m/s^2 = 10 N m/s^2 = 10kg

Force =

Mass x acceleration

F=

MA

How would you find force if 9.8 m/s^2 and the mass is 20kg

you would multiply 20kg X 9.8m/s^2 = 196 N 

how do you convert Newtons to Grams

multiply by 100

3.2 N =

320 grams

The force of gravity depends on

the distance between objects

The acceleration of gravity is always

9.8m/s² on earth

The force of gravity does not affect the

mass of an object

The force of gravity does affect the ____ of an object

weight

The force of gravity depends on the ____ of interacting object

mass

The greater the mass of a planet the _____ the gravitational force.

greater

Gravitational force has nothing to do with

the atmosphere

The ____ of an object does not change when it is taken to another planet

mass

____ may be different on that planet if the planet’s mass is different from Earth’s

weight

The more ___ an object has the greater the gravitational force

mass
