• a force that attracts any object
• a force that pushes any object
• a force that shrinks any object
• a force that enlarges anyobject

A person on the Earth weighs 180 pounds. How much will they weigh on the moon? ( Note: The moons "g" is  $\frac{1}{6}$ times that of Earth)

• 30 lbs

• 360 lbs

• 0- you are weightless in space

• 18 lbs

Calculate the force of gravity (F) between two objects whose masses are m1 = 100 kg and m2 = 1000 kg if they are separared by a distance of d = 500 m.

 $G\ =6.67\times10^{-11}\ N\ \frac{m^2}{kg^2}$  

• 2.67 * 10^-11 N

• 0.4 N

• 6.67 * 10^-11 N

• 1.3 * 10^-8 N

The reason why ocean tides happen is

• Electrical forces between the sun and the moon

• gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.

• Magnetic forces between the Earth and the moon

• Motion of the moon around the earth
