10. Gravity on the Moon isΒ ____ the gravity on Earth.
11. Gravity and Friction are examples
12. The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
13. ________ is a push or pull exerted (or put) on an object.
14. The point on a body where all weight is equally balanced around the point where gravity seems to pull is known as___
15. What is the SI unit used to measure force?
16. Any object with mass has gravity.
17. Gravity attracts all objects towards one another.
18. The force of gravity acting on an object is the object's ______.
19. The law of universal gravitation is credited to whom?
20. The amount of matter in an object is
21. Which of the following never changes no matter where in the universe?
22. A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .
23. Two factors effecting the magnitude of the force of gravity between 2 objects are...
24. If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass?
25. If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your weight?
26. What does beam balance measure?
27. What does spring balance measure?
28. What force keeps us from floating off into space?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other. It keeps us grounded on Earth.
29. Which of the following is NOT affected by gravity?
Light is composed of particles called photons, which do not experience the force of gravity.
30. What determines the strength of the force of gravity?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object. More massive objects exert a greater gravitational force.
31. Which of the following has the strongest gravitational pull?
The Moon has a much larger mass compared to the other objects, which results in a stronger gravitational pull.
32. What happens to the force of gravity between two objects as their distance increases?
According to the law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects decreases as the distance between them increases.
33. Which planet in our solar system has the strongest gravitational pull?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, which means it has the strongest gravitational pull.
34. If you were on the Moon, how would your weight compare to your weight on Earth?
The Moon has less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity on the Moon is weaker, resulting in lower weight.
35. What causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth when dropped?
The force of gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing acceleration when dropped.
36. Which of the following factors does NOT affect the force of gravity?
The color of an object has no impact on the force of gravity between objects. It is solely dependent on their mass and distance.
37. What would happen to your weight if you were on a planet with stronger gravity than Earth?
If you were on a planet with stronger gravity, you would experience an increase in weight due to the greater gravitational pull.
