A nugget of gold and a nugget of iron both have a mass of 30 g (grams). Would the nuggets weigh more or less on Jupiter?

• More because Jupiter is more massive (has more mass) that Earth; therefore, the gravitational attraction between the nuggets and the planet would be greater on Jupiter than on Earth.

• More because Jupiter is more massive (has more mass) that Earth; therefore, the gravitational attraction between the nuggets and the planet would be less on Jupiter than on Earth.

• They would weigh the same because Earth and Jupiter has similar mass; therefore, the gravitational attraction between the nuggets and the planet would be about the same.

• Less because Jupiter is less massive (has less mass) that Earth; therefore, the gravitational attraction between the nuggets and the planet would be less on Jupiter than on Earth.

• Less because Jupiter is less massive (has less mass) that Earth; therefore, the gravitational attraction between the nuggets and the planet would be greater on Jupiter than on Earth.

The gas inside each balloon takes up the same amount of space. The difference in the mass of the balloons is only a few grams at most. The balloon resting on the table is filled with air. The floating balloon is filled with helium gas. Why might the helium balloon float while the other rest on the table?

• Helium has less mass in the same amount of space than air does, so the helium balloon sinks in air.

• Helium has less mass in the same amount of space than air does, so the helium balloon floats in air.

• Air has less mass in the same amount of space than does helium, so the helium balloon sinks in air.

• Air has less mass in the same of amount of space than helium does, so the helium balloon floats in air.

What is the volume?

• 60 cm³

• 50 cm³

• 30 cm³

• 300 cm³

• 21 cm³
