Weight
Gravity
Mass
Magnetism
The gravitational attraction between two objects would increase if both masses are –
increased, and the distance between them is increased.
increased, and the distance between them is decreased.
decreased, and the distance between them is decreased.
decreased, and the distance between them is increased.
Why do planets orbit the Sun?
The Sun is the only celestial object that has a gravitational pull.
The Sun’s chemical composition makes it attract planets.
Only celestial bodies that emit light, like the Sun, can be at the center of an orbit.
The Sun is the most massive object in our solar system, so it exerts the greatest gravitational pull.
Gravity can be defined as the –
force of attraction between two or more masses.
friction created when two objects are in contact.
energy given off by stars due to nuclear reactions.
path an object follows as it moves through space.
Which model has greater gravitational attraction.
model A
model B
both models have equal gravity
When will the gravity between two objects be the LEAST?
when the masses of both objects is small and the objects are close together
when the masses of both objects is small and the objects are far apart
when the masses of both objects is large and the objects are close together
when the masses of both objects is large and the objects are far apart
What two things determine the gravity of an object?
mass & weight
mass & distance
density & mass
volume & distance
