• distance and weight

• mass and matter

• mass and distance

• True
• False

All objects with mass have gravity.

• True

• False

As distance between objects increases the pull of gravity...

• increases 
• decreases 
• Stays the same 

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

• the moon has less mass than the Earth, and therefore the force of gravity is lower.

• the moon has more mass than the Earth, and therefore the force of gravity is lower.

• the moon has less mass than the Earth, and therefore the force of gravity is greater

• the moon has more mass than the Earth, and therefore the force of gravity is greater
