What are 2 factors that determine the amount of friction between 2 objects?

• Force and roughness between surfaces
• hills and valleys and how smooth or rough the surface is
• Amount of force and amount of surface the comes in contact
• The force and the weight exerted on the surfaces

Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are...

• mass and distance 
• mass and matter
• distance and weight 
• weight and mass

As distance between two objects increase the pull of gravity 

• Increases
• Decreases
• Stays the same

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

• Moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity
• Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity
