What is gravity?
The force that makes things spin
The force that makes things float in space
The force that pushes everything away from the ground
The force that pulls everything toward the ground
Who was the first person to study gravity?
Nikola Tesla
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein
Galileo Galilei
What happens to objects when they get closer to the Moon?
They float away into space
They get pulled toward the Moon
They stay in the same place
They get pulled toward the Earth
What is the effect of air resistance on falling objects?
It makes objects fall faster
It makes objects fall slower
It has no effect on falling objects
It makes objects float in the air
What did the experiment with the feather and hammer on the Moon show?
Feathers and hammers don't fall on the Moon
Hammers fall faster than feathers on the Moon
Feathers and hammers fall at the same rate on the Moon
Feathers fall faster than hammers on the Moon
What is the force that keeps objects from flying off the surface of the Earth?
Friction
Magnetism
Gravity
Inertia
What is the effect of distance on the pull of gravity between objects?
The farther objects are, the weaker the pull of gravity
The closer objects are, the stronger the pull of gravity
The farther objects are, the stronger the pull of gravity
The closer objects are, the weaker the pull of gravity
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.
As distance between two objects increases, the pull of gravity
increases.
decreases.
stays the same.
has no effect.
Which of the following will NOT change in different gravities?
Why are we pulled to Earth's center and NOT the sun's?
The sun is very LARGE
The sun is very FAR AWAY
Earth has a STRONGER GRAVITY than the sun
Earth ORBITS around the sun
Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are...
weight and mass.
distance and weight.
mass and matter.
mass and distance.
It is the same, mass doesn´t change
In both planets.
Match the following
Largest mass in our solar system
Greater gravity
Less gravity
Air resistance
Earth's gravity holds it close
