Mass and Gravity

Which of the following never changes no matter where in the universe?

• weight

• force

• mass

• pounds

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

Which is the only true statement?

• Your weight on the moon will be less

• Your mass on the moon is more

• Mass is dependent on gravity

• Weight is independent of gravity

Which of the following is best associated with inertia?

• weight

• mass

• gravity

• acceleration

The further away you are from an object:

• the greater the gravitational pull.

• the lesser the gravitational pull.

After completing this lab, which overall concept do you find to be correct about the relationship between gravity and mass?

• Mass does not affect gravity.

• Mass and gravity are directly proportional.

• Mass and gravity are inversely proportional.

• Mass only affects the gravity between the Sun and Earth, not the Earth and the Moon.
