Topic 5 Weight Mwss And Gravity Flashcards
What affect does gravity have
Makes everything fall to the ground
gives everything weight
What is mass
How much matter there is in a given volume
What is weight
Gravitational Force acting on an object due to gravity
What is the fourth around if that causes gravity
Gravitational field 
What does gravitational field strength vary with
Location
What does the weight of an object depend on
The strength of the gravitational field at the location of the object
What is weight measured in
Newtons
What is weight measured with
Calibrated spring balance (newtonmeter)
What is the single point where the force acts from an object
Centre of mass
What does the mass increase
The weight
Where is the gf stronger
The closer you are to the mass causing the field and is stronger for larger masses
