Increases
Decreases
Stays the same
- 2. Multiple Choice
Why do we have a stronger gravitational attraction with Earth than the Sun?
the sun has a larger mass
the Earth has a larger mass
we are closer to center of sun
we are closer to center of Earth
- 3. Multiple Choice
If a feather and a hammer are dropped at the same time on the moon, where there is no atmosphere, which one will hit the ground first?
Neither, there is no gravity on the moon.
hammer because it has more mass
feather because it has less mass
both will hit at the same time, there is no wind resistance
- 4. Multiple ChoiceWhat does the strength of gravity between two objects depend upon?Mass & distanceMass & weightGravity & inertiaInertia & mass
- 5. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following will not change in different gravitational fields?weightforcemasspounds
- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhich of these best describes why your weight (on Earth) would change on another planet?Dehydration effects on different planets change weight.In general, the smaller the planet, the greater weightDifferent planets have different gravitational pullsWeight does not change, no matter where you are.

- 8. Multiple Choice
When placed at equal distances apart, the greatest gravitational attraction will be between two
skateboards
bowling balls
school buses
- 9. Multiple Choice
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.
- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhat is gravitational force?It makes objects at rest start moving.It makes objects that are moving stop.The force of attraction between two objects.It pulls you into space.
- 11. Multiple ChoiceA baseball and bat are on the ground. What is true?They attract each other with equal gravitational force.There is no gravitational force between them.The baseball will float because it's lighter.The bat will pull the baseball closer to itself.
