FISD 6th How Gravity Affects Objects in Solar System #1

As distance between two objects increase the pull of gravity 

• Increases
• Decreases
• Stays the same

Two objects with a greater mass have

• less gravitational force
• stronger gravitational force
• no clue
• a way to break apart

A person would weigh more on Jupiter than on the Earth because . . .

• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity
• Jupiter has less mass, and therefore more gravity
• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore less gravity
• Jupiter has less mass and therefore less gravity

As mass increases, what happens to gravitational force?

• increases
• decreases
• stays the same
• i don't know

Which system has the greater gravitational attraction between the two objects (if any)?

• System A
• System B
• Same gravitational attraction fro System A and System B

Which System has the greater gravitational pull between the two objects?

• System 1
• System 2
• Same: there is no gravitational attraction between the two objects

What factors determine how much gravity a planet has?

• distance from sun, mass, density, volume, radius of the planet
• mass and volume of a planet
• volume, mass, and size of a planet
• distance from sun, radius of planet, and mass

Which planet has the smallest amount of gravity?

• Mercury
• Uranus
• Pluto
• Venus

What best describes the mass and weight of a person as they move around the universe?

• mass and weight changes
• Mass and weight stays constant
• weight remains constant, mass changes
• Mass stays constant, weight changes

Which of the following would increase the force of gravity on a planet?

• Decreasing the mass of the star.
• Decreasing the distance between the planet and star.
• Decreasing the mass of the planet.
• All of the above.
