Which model has greater gravitational attraction (if any)

Both Model A and Model B (same gravity)

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 the gravity felt on the earth. This is because

the moon is much less massive than the earth

the earth has a molten core and the moon doesn't

the moon is so much further from the sun than the earth.

the moon is so far away from the earth

What would happen to the planets in the solar system if the sun’s gravitational force were to suddenly disappear?

They will fly away in straight lines.

They will stop moving and become static.

They will start moving toward the Sun

Which of the following would cause more gravitational attraction between Jupiter and one of its moon, Io?

Increasing the distance between Jupiter and Io

Decreasing the distance of Io from the Sun

Why does the Moon orbit Earth instead of the Sun?

Gravity depends on distance and the Moon is closer to Earth.

Only large objects orbit around the Sun and the Moon is too small.

The Moon used to be part of Earth so it must orbit Earth.

The Moon is moving too fast and cannot change its orbit.

The Sun's gravity holds each planet in its orbit. Neptune is at a farther distance from the Sun than Earth is. How does the effect of the Sun's gravity on Neptune compare with the effect of the Sun's gravity on Earth?

The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away.

The Sun has the same gravitational pull on all planets that are in orbit.

The Sun has more gravitational pull on Neptune because it is larger.

The Sun has less gravitational pull on Earth because it is closer.

Comets are one kind of body in the Solar System. What will LIKELY be the change in the motion of a comet if the Sun’s gravity were to disappear and only inertia were acting on the comet?

The comet will continue to move in a straight line.

The comet will slowly come to rest in space.

The comet will stop moving in its path and fall into the Sun.

The comet will start moving past the Sun at a much faster rate.
