A rocket's action is to push down on the ground with the force of its powerful engines. The reaction is that the ground pushes the rocket upwards with an equal force, but opposite in direction. Which law best explains this event?
1st Law - The Law of Inertia
2nd Law - The Law of Acceleration
3rd Law - The Law of Action/Reaction
The Law of Gravity
- 3. Multiple Choice
A person pushes a bowling ball 10 meters and then pushes a tennis ball 10 meters. Which push requires more force and why?
The bowling ball because it has less acceleration
The tennis ball because it has a greater acceleration
The bowling ball because it has a greater mass
The tennis ball because it has less mass
- 4. Multiple Choice

- 6. Multiple Choice
The moon has a smaller mass than Earth. How does the moon's gravity compare to Earth's gravity?
The moon's gravity is greater than Earth because the moon has more mass.
The moon's gravity is less than Earth because he moon has less mass.
The moon and Earth's gravity are the same because gravity is a constant force.
The moon does not have gravity because it is in outer space.
- 7. Multiple Choice
The moon has a smaller mass than the Earth. If you were to jump on the moon, your jump would
be the same as a jump on Earth
be smaller than a jump on Earth because there is more gravity on the moon
be larger than a jump on Earth because there is less gravity on the moon
change depending on the time of day
