High and low tides are the regular pattern of rising and sinking ocean water levels. They are formed as a result of the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans. The moon has a greater effect than the sun on the Earth's oceans. Why would the moon have a greater effect than the sun?
The moon is not as hot as the sun
The moon has less mass than the Earth
The moon has less mass than the sun
The moon is closer to Earth than the sun is

These objects are placed 1 meter apart.
Which of the following is true of this scenario?
The gravitational force between the two objects is very strong because they are close together
The gravitational force between the two objects is very weak because their masses are so small
No gravitational force exists between the two objects because they are not touching
No gravitational force exists between the two objects because their masses are so small

The law of universal gravitation says all bodies attract each other. If you drop a cup, it falls to Earth. Why doesn't the gravitational attraction between your hand and the cup keep the cup from falling?
The law of universal gravitation only applies to planets in space
There is a gravitational attraction between you and the cup, but Earth's gravity is stronger, so Earth's gravity pulls the cup down
The gravitational attraction between you and the cup is so strong that the force pushes the cup down
There is no gravitational attraction between you and the cup, so Earth's gravity pulls the cup down

Which statement about the universality of gravity is untrue?
The gravitational force between two objects depends only on their masses
The gravitational force between two objects increases if the mass of one object increases
The gravitational force between two objects increases if the distance between objects decreases
Any two objects that have mass also have a force of gravity acting between them, no matter how far apart they are
