• measure of the force of gravity on your body
• the time it takes to get on a ride 
• the amount of matter in an object
• the size of an object

If a bowling ball and a feather were dropped at the same time, in a room with no air resistance (vacuum), which object will hit the ground first?

• Bowling Ball
• Feather
• Both would hit at the same time
• Neither one would hit the ground because air is what pushing things down.

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

What best describes the mass and weight of a person as they move around the universe?

• mass and weight changes
• Mass and weight stays constant
• weight remains constant, mass changes
• Mass stays constant, weight changes

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
