• Law of Universal Gravitation
• Newton's First Law of Motion
• My mother
• Inertia & gravity

The moon and other satellites rotate around the earth. Identify the force that keeps these satellites in orbit.

• gravity
• friction
• a strong force
• electromagnetic force

Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are...

• mass and distance 
• mass and matter
• distance and weight 
• weight and mass

Force of gravity is directly proportional to

• Mass
• Weight
• Distance
• Time

Force of gravity is inversely proportional to

• Mass
• Weight
• Distance
• Time

If I double the distance between two objects, what happens to their gravitational Force?

• 4x bigger
• 4x smaller
• 2x bigger
• 2x smaller

If I double the mass of one object, but don't change anything else... WHat happens to the gravitational force between two objects?

• Doubles
• Quadruples
• Cut in Half
• 4x Smaller

What happens to Gravitational force if I double both of the masses but don't change their distance?

• doubles
• half as big
• 4x bigger
• 4x smaller

• 9
• 18
• 72
• 144
