Newton's Laws of Motion

Two astronauts are playing catch in space. The first astronaut throws the ball; and

• the ball moves, but the astronaut doesn’t.

• the ball moves, and so does the astronaut.

• the ball doesn’t move, but the astronaut does.

• the ball doesn’t move, and neither does the astronaut.

In which situation is the object experiencing balanced forces?

• A girl swings on a swing at the playground.

• A car brakes as it approaches a traffic light.

• A sled speeds up as it slides down a snow-covered hill.

• A sky diver reaches terminal velocity when he stops accelerating.

The moon orbits our Earth. The opposite would never be true; the Earth would never orbit the moon. One reason is due to the force of gravity. The object ____________ has a greater gravitational force and that determines what satellites orbit around it.

• with the greater mass

• containing mostly water

• with a thicker atmosphere

• with the greater diameter
