What is gravity?
The resistance between two surfaces in motion.
The force that pulls objects toward each other, especially toward the center of the Earth.
The push or pull that causes an object to accelerate.
The tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.
What does it mean for objects to attract in terms of gravity?
They push each other away due to friction.
They pull toward each other.
They increase in mass when close to each other.
They reduce their inertia.
What is mass?
The amount of gravitational pull an object experiences.
The amount of matter in an object, which affects how much gravitational force it has.
The force exerted on an object due to gravity.
The rate at which an object accelerates when falling.
What is force?
The resistance between two moving surfaces.
The amount of matter in an object.
A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move or change direction.
The speed at which an object falls to the Earth.
What is an orbit?
The rate at which an object speeds up.
The curved path an object takes around another object due to gravity.
The gravitational force pulling objects toward Earth.
The resistance objects experience when falling.
Acceleration refers to:
The speed at which an object moves over a surface.
The rate at which an object’s velocity changes over time.
The force exerted on an object due to gravity.
The resistance to changes in motion.
What is the weight of an object?
The amount of matter in an object.
The force exerted on an object due to gravity, depending on mass and gravitational pull.
The rate at which an object accelerates toward the Earth.
The force of inertia acting on a moving object.
Which of the following best describes friction?
The rate of acceleration due to gravity.
The push or pull that causes an object to move.
The resistance one surface encounters when moving over another.
The tendency of an object to stay in motion.
What is inertia?
The force that opposes gravity.
The amount of matter in an object.
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
The force that pulls objects toward each other.
A Newton is:
The unit of force in the metric system, named after Sir Isaac Newton.
The measure of friction between two objects.
The gravitational pull on an object.
The rate of an object’s acceleration.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
12.5 m/s²
3.5 m/s²
9.8 m/s²
1.6 m/s²
How does friction affect motion?
It speeds up falling objects.
It resists the motion of objects sliding past each other.
It increases the gravitational pull.
It reduces the mass of moving objects.
Which of the following objects experiences inertia?
A car that continues moving even after the engine is turned off.
A ball that increases speed when it rolls downhill.
A piece of paper that falls straight down due to gravity.
An object that is not affected by friction.
When an object is in orbit around Earth, which force is primarily responsible for keeping it in motion?
Friction
Inertia
Gravity
Acceleration
