An object's mass will affect it's _____.

• colour

• height

• size

• gravity

Answer explanation

An object's mass will affect its gravity.

The greater an objects mass, the ________

• weaker its gravity.

• stronger its gravity

Answer explanation

The stronger the mass the stronger the gravity (that' why we can only see the affects of very large objects such as planets, moon and the sun).

An object's weight is the measure of the _______

• force of gravity acting upon it.

• force of friction acting upon it.

• the force of air resistance acting upon it.

• the force. May the force be with you!

Answer explanation

The object's weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting upon it.

The force of gravity, acting on something (it's weight) is measured in _____

• Cakes

• Newtons

• Grams and kilograms

• Litres

Answer explanation

The force of gravity acting upon something (it's weight) is measured in Newtons.

If the force of gravity acting upon an object changes, it's

• height changes to.

• length changes to.

• its weight changes to.

• it's mass changes to.

Answer explanation

If the force of gravity acting upon an object changes, the weight changes to.

On the moon, the gravitational force is _____

• stronger than the earth.

• equal to the earth.

• weaker than the earth.

• like a duck.

Answer explanation

On the moon the gravitational force is weaker than the earth.

On the moon, an object's mass is the same as on earth, but its weight is less because the gravitational pull is ______

• less.

• more.

• the same.

Answer explanation

On the moon, an object's mass is the same as the earth, but its weight is less because the gravitational pull is less.
