18.

The strength of the pull of gravity between two objects is affected by?

a)

the masses of the two objects and the weight of the two objects

b)

the weight of the two objects distance between them

c)

the masses of the two objects and the distance between them

d)

19.

What force acts over a distance and attracts all objects to each other?

a)

Friction

b)

Gravity

c)

Inertia

d)

Magnetism

20.

Why do scientist measure and record the mass of objects rather than their weight?

a)

Weight depends on the pull of gravity, so it changes depending on an objects location while mass remains the same.

b)

Weight fluctuates with changes in temperatures, mass does not.

c)

Mass depends on the pull of gravity, so it changes depending on an object's location while weight remains the same.

d)

Mass fluctuates with changes in temperature; weight does not.

21.

Sophie drops an acorn and an oak leaf from the same height. She observes that it takes the oak leaf much longer to reach the ground. What can Sophie correctly conclude?
