b)
Sun
c)
Earth
d)
ocean
2.
The farther apart two objects are, the _______ the gravitational force.
a)
weaker
b)
stronger
c)
less stable

3.

What is the formula for calculating weight?

a)

Weight = Mass + Gravitational Acceleration (W = m + g)

b)

Weight = Mass x Gravitational Acceleration (W = m x g)

c)

Weight = Mass / Gravitational Acceleration (W = m / g)

d)

Weight = Mass - Gravitational Acceleration (W = m - g)

4.

What is the proper setup of the gravitational force formula?

a)

Fg= Gm2/r

b)

F=ma

c)

Fg= Gr2/(m1+m2)

d)

Fg= G (m1m2)/r2

5.

What effect does increasing the distance between the two objects do to the gravitational force?

a)

The distance between two objects has no effect on the gravitational force

b)

It increases

c)

It stays the same

d)

It decreases

6.

Why do we not feel a gravitational attraction to the objects around us?

a)

The masses are too small for the Fg value to be noticeable

b)

Gravitational forces are not found on Earth

c)

The radius between us and the objects is too great

d)

Electrical forces overpower the gravitational forces
