Gravitational Force

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

• weight and mass

• 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

Gravity on Mars' surface is much lower than it is here on Earth. This tells us that the mass of Mars is __________ than the mass of Earth.

• less

• more

• the same

__________holds all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

• Force
• Motion
• Weight
• Gravity
