When placed at equal distances apart, the greatest gravitational attraction will be between two
skateboards
bowling balls
school buses
Which is needed to determine the amount of gravitational force between two objects?
distance and mass
weight and time
area and weight
The gravitational force exerted by an object depends on its
volume
mass
weight
A student drops a bowling ball and an apple from a third-story window. Both objects hit the ground at the same time. From the experiment, the student should conclude that
the apple weighs more than the bowling ball
more air friction is acting on the apple than on the bowling ball
gravity pulls on both objects, causing them to fall at the same time.
What is the relationship between mass and gravitational pull?
Higer mass creates higher gravitational pull
Lower mass creates higher gravitational pull
Lower gravitational pull creates more mass
Which of the following data would support the claim that the gravitational force between objects depends on mass?
A rocket can escape Earth’s gravity by traveling at high speed.
Gravitational force is stronger on more massive planets.
The further a planet is away from the sun, the smaller the gravitational force.
An object’s weight can change depending where it is on Earth.
Which of the following does not affect the gravitational force between the earth and the sun?
The net electrical charge of the earth
The distance between the earth and the sun
The mass of the sun
The mass of the earth
An astronaut way out in space is considered to be “weightless". This is because–
his mass is so small relative to the earth that gravity doesn’t affect him.
gravitational force decreases greatly over long distances.
gravitational force pushes objects away from each other at long distances.
objects far away from the earth have less mass.
Which statement is true?
All objects with mass exert a gravitational force.
Only celestial objects exert a gravitational force.
Gravity can both push and pull objects.
Only Earth exerts a gravitational force.
