7.1.5 Gravity

Mass is:

• The amount of particles that make up an object

• The amount of force pulling on an object

• The amount of fat

• Gravity

Weight is:

• The amount of particles that make up an object

• The amount of force pulling on an object due to its mass

• The amount someone weighs

• Gravity

The larger an object is the more mass it has.

• True

• False

Which scale would work on multiple planets without needing to be re-calibrated?

• Spring Scale

• Electronic Scale

• Triple Beam Balance

If I weigh 110 lbs on earth and have a mass of 43 kg, and I go to the moon, what would my weight and mass be?

• I would weigh more, and have the same mass.

• I would weigh less and have the same mass.

• I would weigh the same and have less mass.

• I would weigh the same and have more mass.

When one object is extremely more massive than the other, the mass of the smaller object almost doesn't matter.

• True

• False

Select all that apply: I know that mass affects gravitational pull because-

• The astronauts could jump higher on the moon than on earth because the moon has less mass than the earth.

• If we increased the mass of the sun in the simulation, it made the earths orbit smaller.

• If we increased the mass of the sun in the simulation, it made the earths orbit larger.

• The astronauts couldn't jump higher on the moon than on earth because the moon has more mass than earth.

When objects get further apart, the gravitational pull is:

• increased

• decreased

• stays the same

If we have 2 objects that have a mass of 50 kg and are 5 meters apart, and we decrease the mass of one of the objects, it will:

• increase the gravitational pull between the two objects because one now has less mass.

• decrease the gravitational pull between the two objects because one now has less mass.

• maintain the gravitational pull between the two objects because the other is larger.
