_______ is the amount of matter of an object.

• Mass

• Weight

• Shape

• Gravity

A classroom is gathering evidence about gravity. They want to know if weight of an object impacts how quickly gravity pulls the object. They drop a 1 pound, 2 pound & 5 pound ball from the top of the school. What will be the results of this test?

• the 5 pound ball will hit the ground first

• the 1 pound & 2 pound ball will only hit at the same time

• all 3 balls will hit at the same time

Why doesn’t the moon crash toward the Earth’s surface?

• It has very little inertia, so it stays in the sky and floats through space.

• It has a lot of mass, so it feels the Earth’s gravitational force less than smaller objects do.

• It has more mass than the Earth, so it stays in one place while the Earth orbits it.
