Gravity

A group of students measure the time it takes for different objects to fall to the ground from various heights to test the effects of gravity.

• Developing and using models

• Analyzing and interpreting data

• Planning and carrying out investigations

What happens to the force of gravity between two objects as the distance between them increases?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It stays the same

Which of the following is true about the relationship between mass and gravity?

• Objects with more mass exert more gravitational pull

• Objects with more mass exert less gravitational pull

• Mass does not affect gravitational pull
