Gravity

What is Gravity?

a force that attracts or pulls objects toward each other without direct contact or impact​​

Where in an object does gravity pull to?

The center

What two things does gravity depend on?

Mass of the two objects and distance between them

If ___________ Increases, ___________ Increases linearly

Mass, Gravitational force.

If __________ Increases, _______ Decreases exponentially

Distance, Gravity

Equation for universal gravitational force

The force of gravity = Mass of object 1 x Mass of object 2 / Distance between the objects ² (F=M₁+M₂/D²)

What is Mass?

the measure of the amount of matter in an object

What is Weight?

the measure of the pull of gravity on an on an object

How is weight measured?

Newtons (N)
