Equation Relation
The unit of measurement for universal gravitation?
What is Newtons (N)?
The force when m1 is doubled in mass but m2 remains the same and the distance between the center of masses stays the same.
What is the force would double?
Two different masses floating in space are attracted to each other. One mass accelerates faster than the other. Is Fgrav applying the same force to each mass?
What is yes?
The relative magnitude of the gravitational forces any two masses exert on each other.
What is both masses exert the same gravitational force on the other?
The m1 and m2 in the equation for universal gravitation?
What is the two individual masses that are attracted to each other?
The force when m2 is halved in mass but m1 remains the same and the distance between the center of masses stays the same.
What is the force would be halved?
Why is the force of gravity stronger on Jupiter than it is on Earth?
What is Jupiter is more massive?
The force of gravity between a 85 kg person, and the Earth.
Earth mass = 5.98 x 1024 kg
Distance to center of Earth = 6.38 x 106 m
G = 6.67 x 10-11
What is 833 N
'G' in the universal gravitation equation.
What is the Gravitational Constant. It is 6.67*10-11 m3/kg*s2
The force if the distance between the centers of two masses was halved.
What is the force of gravity between the objects would quadruple?
Two masses orbit earth, one with twice the mass of the other. They both orbit at the same distance. Is Fgrav acting on the masses the same?
What is no?
The force of gravity between a 85 kg person, and the Earth if the person is flying at a distance of 50,000 m above Earth
Earth mass = 5.98 x 1024 kg
Distance to center of Earth = 6.38 x 106 m
G = 6.67 x 10-11
What is 820 N
The 'd' in the universal gravitation equation.
What is the distance between the centers of each mass?
The force if the distance between the centers of two masses was doubled.
What is the The force would be reduced by a factor of 4?
What is a stronger force: Fgrav between you and your neighbor or Fgrav between you and the star Vega?
What is the one between you and your neighbor?
Satellites that are closer to Earth have an orbital speed that is __________________ compared to satellites that are further from Earth.
What is faster? Because the closer the satellite is the greater the force of gravity the Earth would exert on the satellite.
The relationship between distance and Fgrav
and the relationship between mass and Fgrav?
What is inverse square and proportional?
The force when m2 is halved in mass but m1 remains the same and the distance between the center of masses is doubled.
What is the force is reduced by a factor of 8?
Is gravitational force relatively strong or weak when compared to the other universal forces?
It is weak in comparison
The difference between the mass and weight of an object.
What is mass is a constant? Weight will depend on the mass of opposing object.
