Which of the following claims is supported by the data?

Gravitational forces increase as the masses of the two objects increase

Gravitational forces are strongest between objects with identical masses.

Gravitational forces are weakest when one object is more massive than the other.

Gravitational forces can never exceed an upper limit, regardless of the masses.

The gravitational force between two objects will be very small, unless which of the following is true?

One of the objects must have a very large mass.

The objects must be very far apart.

Both objects must have very large masses.

Both objects must be in the solid state of matter.

Which of the following data would support the claim that the gravitational force between objects depends on mass?

Gravitational force is stronger on more massive planets.

An object’s weight can change depending where it is on Earth.

The further a planet is away from the sun, the smaller the gravitational force.

A rocket can escape Earth’s gravity by traveling at high speed.

What two qualities of objects does gravity depend on?

The mass of objects and the distance between them

What each object is made up of and the distance between them

What each object is made up of and the material between them

An asteroid flies close to the Earth. Gravity–

attracts the asteroid and Earth to each other

repels the asteroid away from Earth.

makes the asteroid spin rapidly.

causes the asteroid to explode.

A satellite is traveling in an orbit around Earth. What change would cause it to experience more gravitational force from Earth?

Orbiting closer to Earth’s surface

Making its surface reflect the Sun’s rays

Amanda weighs about 600 N on Earth, but would only weigh about 100 N on the Moon. Which BEST explains why Amanda would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?

The mass of the Moon is less than that of Earth, therefore it has a weaker gravitational force.

The circumference of the Moon is smaller than Earth, therefore it has less gravity.

The lack of air pressure on the Moon weakens the gravitational force of the Moon.

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational pull?

Higer mass creates higher gravitational pull

Lower mass creates higher gravitational pull

Lower gravitational pull creates more mass

What is gravitational force ?

The force of attraction between two objects.

It makes objects at rest start moving.

It makes objects that are moving stop.

Gravitational force between two massive spheres

depends on how massive they are

depends inversely on the square of the distances between them

Double the distance between two objects

4 times weaker gravity attraction

4 times greater gravity attraction

A planet moves fastest during its orbit around the Sun at the when

it is closest to the sun and gravity has a stronger pull

it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a stronger pull

it is closest to the sun and gravity has a weak pull

it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a weak pull

What is true about the area between points A, B and the Sun, and the area between points H, I and the Sun?

The area between A, B and the Sun is the largest.

The area between H, I and the Sun is the largest

There is not enough information to determine the areas

The ratio of a planets average distance from the sun and its orbital period is

very different for every planet

large when the planet is farther away

Kepler's 2nd Law deals with

the speed/area the planet travels

the shape of the planets' orbits

the length of time it takes the planet to orbit the sun

Kepler's third law of planetary motion describes a relationship between the

distance from the Sun and length of year.

shape of orbit and location of Sun.

orbital velocity and position in orbit

Earth's gravitational field extends

both inside and outside Earth and throughout the entire universe

only above and beyond Earth's surface and cancels inside Earth

The direction of a gravitational field is

in the same direction as gravitational attraction.

away from the center of gravity of an object.

opposite to the direction of gravitational attraction.
