Forces of Gravity and Motion

How is gravity affected by mass?

• the larger the mass of the object, the greater the gravity
• small objects have no gravity
• gravity is not affected by mass of objects, whether large or small

What is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces?

• friction
• acceleration
• velocity
• motion

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• mass is how much matter is in an object, and weight is the gravitational pull on that object
• mass and weight are the same
• weight affects how much mass is in an object
• weight is determined by how many atoms make up an object
