As the distance between two objects increases, the pull of gravity ...

• ... increases.

• ... decreases.

• ... stays the same.

The force of gravity acting on an object is the object's ...

• mass
• matter
• weight 
• friction 

The amount of matter in an object is the object's ...

• pressure
• weight
• mass
• force

Which of the following never changes no matter where in the universe?

• weight
• force
• mass
• pounds

A person would weigh less on on the Moon than on the Earth because . . .

• Moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity
• Moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity
• Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity
