Questions and Answers

What type of forces act over a distance without direct physical contact between objects?

  • Frictional forces
  • Field forces (correct)
  • Tension forces
  • Contact forces

What is the gravitational force between two objects dependent on?

  • Only mass of the objects
  • Only distance between the objects
  • Shape of the objects
  • Mass of the objects and the distance between them (correct)

What is the formula to calculate weight (W)?

  • W = m × g (correct)
  • W = g / m
  • W = m + g
  • W = m / g
