fields

Question 1

field

Answer 1

region in space where an object experiences a force

Question 2

electric fields

Answer 2

region in space where an electric charge experiences a force

runs from positive to negative

The direction of the electric field at a point is the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed at that point

Question 3

coulombs law

Answer 3

2 point charges exert forces on each other. force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Question 4

newtons law of universal gravitation

Answer 4

Every particle with mass in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres

Question 5

weight (Fg)

Answer 5

the gravitational force the Earth exerts on any object on or near its surface

Question 6

gravitational field

Answer 6

the force acting per unit mass (definition)

a region in space where a mass will experience a force

Question 7

difference between mass + weight

Answer 7

Mass is a fundamental measurement of how much matter an object contains. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force on an object. It not only depends on the object’s mass, but also on its location.
