a)
true
b)
false
12.
Some things have A LOT of mass, while other have FEW mass. 
a)
TRUE
b)
FALSE
10.
Which object has a GREATER force of gravity?
a)
Ball
b)
Earth
11.
Why a ball falls to the ground?
a)
Earth's force of gravity is GREATER than the ball's, so the ball gets attracted to the ground. 
b)
Earth's force of gravity is LESS than the ball's, so the ball gets attracted to the ground.
