Gravitational Force Lesson

There is a gravitational force between you and your pencil. This gravitational force is very small because

• the masses are small

• it doesn’t need to be large

• the distance between the objects is to big

• it is a contact force

What statement best describes the relationship between mass and weight

• Mass and weight are proportional (10 g to .1 N)

• No relationship

• They are equal (10 g to 10 N)

• Mass is always less than weight

If a planet has the same gravitational acceleration as Earth and you have a weight of 500N on Earth what would your weight be on the other planet?

• 700N

• 500N

• 73 Lbs
