• types of surfaces and how hard they are pushed together
• force and distance
• mass and direction

As the distance between 2 objects increases, what happens to gravitational force?

• It increases.
• It decreases.
• It stays the same.
• Only Mr. Silvio knows what will happen.

As mass increases, what happens to the gravitational force?

• It increases.
• It decreases.
• It stays the same.
• It acts as a 3rd degree derivative function.

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
