Gravity, Mass, Weight

Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are...

• mass and distance 
• mass and matter
• distance and weight 
• weight and mass

Two objects with a greater mass have

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

As mass increases, what happens to gravitational force?

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

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

How does changing the distance of the string in the model represent the orbits of the planets?

• the longer the string means the larger the planet
• the longer the string, the longer the orbit time of a planet
• the shorter the string, the longer the orbit time of the planet
• the shorter the string, the smaller the planet

A measure of the amount of matter in an object

• mass
• weight
• gravity
• pounds

Which of the following will change with different gravitational forces?

• mass
• amount of matter in an object
• weight
• kilograms

The force of gravity on Jupiter is a little more than 2 times the gravitational force on Earth. If an object has a mass of 50 kg and a weight of 490 N on Earth, what would be the object's approximate mass and weight on Jupiter?

• 50 kg and 490 N
• 100 kg and 490 N
• 50 kg and 980 N
• 100 kg and 980 N

The amount of matter in an object  is _______________?

• Mass
• Weight
• Gravity
• Force

The triple beam balance measures _____________________________________?

• Volume
