Which of these will reduce the gravitational force between two objects the most?
halving the distance between them
doubling the distance between them
halving the distance between them and doubling their mass
doubling the distance between them and halving their mass
Based on the data in the table, which of the following is TRUE?
The gravitational potential energy of an object is not dependent on its mass.
The gravitational energy of an object is inversely proportional to its height above the ground.
As the weight of an object is increased, its gravitational potential energy decreases.
As the height of an object is increased, its gravitational potential energy also increases.
Many roller coasters function by mechanically transporting the cars up a large incline. The cars then roll down and up a series of hills, turns, and spirals until the cars come to rest at the passenger loading station. At which point will the roller coaster have the greatest amount of gravitational potential energy?
at the top of the highest point
at the bottom of the first hill
when it reaches its top speed
when it reaches the passenger station
In gym class a student kicks a soccer ball high into the air. As the ball goes upward, which type of energy is increasing?
kinetic energy
thermal energy
potential energy
mechanical energy
Mrs. Pearson’s class is studying the amount of energy stored in objects. If the same rock is put in four different places, at which location will the rock have the MOST potential energy?
A student is organizing a room. She moves a box from the floor to a shelf. She wants to estimate the amount of potential energy the box has on the shelf. What information does the student need?
the volume and mass of the box
the mass of the shelf and the mass of the box
the mass of the box and the height of the shelf
the volume of the box and the height of the shelf

Which of the following statements BEST describes the energy of the objects in the drawing?
The pool of water has more kinetic energy and the falling water has more potential energy.
The falling water has potential energy and the rock over which it flows has kinetic energy.
The water has potential energy at the top of the waterfall and increasing kinetic energy as it falls.
The water at the top of the fall has kinetic energy that becomes potential energy as it falls into the pool.
Which statement about a satellite orbiting Earth is true?
The density of the satellite decreases as its distance from Earth increases.
The mass of the satellite increases as its distance from Earth increases.
The weight of the satellite is the same in orbit as on the surface of Earth.
The gravity exerted on the satellite is lower in orbit than on the surface of Earth.
