What does the force of gravity do to objects?

• It makes them float

• it makes them jump

• it pulls them to the center of earth

• it pushes them apart

How does gravity on Earth compare to gravity on the moon?

• It is the same

• There is more gravity on Earth

• There is more gravity on the moon

What does the word mass mean?

• The amount of matter in an object

• the speed an object falls

• how high a person can jump

• how far an object can be thrown

An example of the force of gravity is-

• a rocket flying through space

• a ball falling to the ground after it has been thrown

• a cloud moving across the sky

• the Sun rising

The model shows a toy car and the direction it is traveling. Arrow T represents the direction of a force applied to the moving car. After the force (Arrow T) acts on the car, the car MOST likely will NOT-

• change direction

• go faster

• slow down

• stop

How is gravity affected by mass?

• the larger the mass of the object, the greater the gravity
• small objects have no gravity
• gravity is not affected by mass of objects, whether large or small
