Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.

• False

• True

• It depends

• I don't care

The force of gravity is also known as

• Mass

• Weight

• Distance

• Acceleration

As distance between two objects increases the pull of gravity 

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

Both of these are measured in Netwons

• Force and acceleration

• Force and weight

• Mass and weight

• Mass and acceleration

A person would weigh more on Jupiter than on the Earth because . . .

• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore more gravity

• Jupiter has less mass, and therefore more gravity

• Jupiter has more mass, and therefore less gravity

• Jupiter has less mass and therefore less gravity

Moon's gravity: 1.62

• less

• more

• the same

You can think of this vocab word as "how much stuff makes up an object"

• size

• brightness

• mass

• density

Without gravity we would________.

• Stay in the ground
