When placed at equal distances apart, the greatest gravitational attraction will be between two
skateboards
bowling balls
school buses
Which is needed to determine the amount of gravitational force between two objects?
distance and mass
weight and time
area and weight
The gravitational force exerted by an object depends on its
volume
mass
weight
A student drops a bowling ball and an apple from a third-story window. Both objects hit the ground at the same time. From the experiment, the student should conclude that
the apple weighs more than the bowling ball
more air friction is acting on the apple than on the bowling ball
gravity pulls on both objects, causing them to fall at the same time.
Gravity on moon is less than the gravity on earth because
a. moon's mass is less
b. moon's mass is more
c. moon's mass is equal to Earth
d. moon has no mass
