What is the definition of gravity?
Gravity is a force that only affects living organisms.
Gravity is a force that repels objects away from each other.
Gravity is a force that attracts objects towards each other.
Gravity is a force that has no effect on objects.
How would you compare the gravitational pull between two objects of equal size?
The gravitational pull would be the same.
The gravitational pull would be weaker for both objects.
The gravitational pull would be stronger for both objects.
The gravitational pull would be stronger for one object and weaker for the other.
If two objects have different sizes, how does their gravitational pull compare?
The gravitational pull would be stronger for the larger object.
The gravitational pull would be stronger for the smaller object.
The gravitational pull would be weaker for the larger object.
The gravitational pull would be the same regardless of their sizes.
When two objects of equal size are placed closer to each other, what happens to the gravitational pull between them?
The gravitational pull between them remains the same.
The gravitational pull between them decreases.
The gravitational pull between them increases.
The gravitational pull between them becomes repulsive.
When two objects of equal size are placed farther apart, what happens to the gravitational pull between them?
decreases
becomes repulsive
increases
stays the same
True or False: Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other.
True
False
True or False: The gravitational pull between two objects increases as the distance between them decreases.
True
False
True or False: The gravitational pull between two objects _____ as the distance between them _____.
decreases, increases
increases, decreases
stays the same, increases
stays the same, decreases
True or False: The gravitational pull between two objects is stronger when one or both of them have a large mass.
True
The gravitational pull is not affected by the size of the objects
The gravitational pull is stronger when the objects have the same size
Gravitational pull is always the same strength.
True or False: The gravitational pull between two objects is small when both objects have a small mass.
The gravitational pull is stronger when the objects have equal sizes
The gravitational pull is not affected by the size of the objects
False
True
Kai and Abigail are discussing the gravitational pull between Earth and the Moon. They wonder what would happen to the gravitational pull if the distance between Earth and the Moon were doubled.
What would be the effect on the gravitational pull in this scenario?
The gravitational pull remains the same.
The gravitational pull gets four times weaker
The gravitational pull gets four times stronger
The gravitational pull gets two times weaker.
Zoe, Aiden, and David are studying physics. They are discussing what would happen to the gravitational pull between two apples when the distance between them is halved. What do you think?
The gravitational pull between the two apples increases by four times.
The gravitational pull between the two apples increases by two times.
The gravitational pull between the two apples remains the same.
The gravitational pull between the two apples decreases by four times
Benjamin and Maya are discussing why the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon is stronger than the gravitational pull between two tennis balls. Michael suggests it's because they have different sizes. Explain why Michael's statement is correct.
The gravitational pull is stronger because the Earth and the moon both have more mass than the tennis balls do.
The gravitational pull is stronger because a tennis ball has more mass than the Moon and the Earth also has more mass than the moon.
The gravitational pull is stronger because the Earth has less mass than a tennis ball and so does the moon.
The gravitational pull is stronger because the Earth and the Moon have the same mass as two tennis balls.
Given the following gravities, put these planets in order by which you could jump highest on to which you would jump lowest on.

Venus 0.88
Earth 1
Neptune 1.2
Jupiter 2.64
