chapter 7 Flashcards
because the earth and moon are gravitationally attracted to each other, they will eventually collide
(t/f)
f
if earth was more massive we would weigh more
t/f
t
the gravitational constant G changes depending on what planet you are on
(t/f)
f
the acceleration due to gravity changes depending what plant you are on
(t/f)
t
the gravitational force of attraction decreases as the masses get farther apart
(t/f)
t
what is the value of the gravitational constant
6.673 x 10^-11
according to the law of universal gravitation, gravitational force is directly proportional to
product of masses
according to the law of universal gravitation, gravitational force is inversely proportional to
distance between centers squared
a large mass and a small mass will experience the same gravitational force which they exert on each other why?
newton’s third law
