10 Questions
Match the following with their relative strength to gravity:
Strong interaction = 1038 times stronger Electromagnetic force = 1036 times stronger Weak interaction = 1029 times stronger
Match the following with their relationship to gravity:
Objects with mass = Mutually attracted by gravity Subatomic particles = Not significantly influenced by gravity Planets, stars, galaxies, and light = Motion determined by gravity
Match the following entities with their effects due to gravity:
Physical objects on Earth = Given weight by gravity Moon = Causes sublunar tides on Earth Plants = Growth guided by gravity
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Gravity = Fundamental interaction causing mutual attraction Gravitropism = Growth of plants influenced by gravity Sublunar tides = Ocean tides on Earth caused by Moon's gravity
Match the following scales with the significance of gravity:
Subatomic = Gravity has no significant influence Macroscopic = Gravity is the most significant interaction
What is gravity and what is its significance at the macroscopic scale?
Gravity is a fundamental interaction that causes mutual attraction between objects with mass. It is the most significant interaction between objects at the macroscopic scale and determines the motion of planets, stars, galaxies, and even light.
How does gravity influence the growth of plants?
Gravity influences the growth of plants through the process of gravitropism, helping to guide their growth.
What is the role of gravity in giving weight to physical objects on Earth?
Gravity gives weight to physical objects on Earth.
What are the relative strengths of gravity compared to the other fundamental interactions?
Gravity is approximately 1038 times weaker than the strong interaction, 1036 times weaker than the electromagnetic force, and 1029 times weaker than the weak interaction.
What is the cause of sublunar tides in the oceans and their corresponding antipodal tide?
The Moon's gravity is responsible for sublunar tides in the oceans, and the corresponding antipodal tide is caused by the inertia of the Earth and Moon orbiting one another.
