Middle School Physical Science › Describe how distance affects gravitational potential energy
What is one way we could increase the gravitational pull between these two objects?
Assuming all of these objects have the same mass, which of these sets of objects would have a greater gravitational potential energy?
The object on the right has a greater gravitational energy than the one on the left. This is because:
Does a plane have more gravitational energy when it is flying 100km above the Earth or when it is on the ground?
Given ONLY the information in the picture above, which of these sets of objects would have more gravitational potential energy?
Which of these objects would have the MOST gravitational pull if we were standing directly on the surface?
This table from NASA.gov shows data collected from bodies in our solar system. Each body has a different value for "Gravity." What best explains this difference?
What could you do to these objects to DECREASE the gravitational energy between them?
Which of these objects have a gravitational pull?
Does a plane have more gravitational energy when it is flying 100km above the Earth or when it is on the ground?
