• Centripetal Force
• Velocity
• Magnetism

• Increases
• Decreases
• Stays the same

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

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

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

How does the distance between two objects affect the force of gravity?

• The closer the two objects are the more gravitational force they have.
• The farther apart the two objects are the more gravitational force they have.
• The closer the two objects are the less gravitational force they have.

How does changing the mass of objects affect the force of gravity?

• Increasing mass will decrease gravity
• Decreasing mass will increase gravity
• Mass will not affect gravity
• Increasing mass increases gravity

What is the purpose of NASA sending rovers to different planets?

• Images of stars

• Picking up rock and soil samples to send down information about them.

• To measure the temperature of the atmosphere

• To take pictures of the surrounding planets.

• Asteroid belt

• Our Moon

• a satelite

• The sun
