What is the direction of Earth's gravitational force on objects near the Earth's surface?

• Up

• Down

• Left

• Right

Which of the following best describes gravity?

• A force that pulls objects towards each other

• A force that pushes objects away from each other

• A force that causes objects to float

• A force that only affects objects in space

Why do objects fall to the ground when dropped?

• Because of the upward force from the air

• Because gravity pulls them downward

• Because of the shape of the object

• Because of the force of wind

What happens to an object when the gravitational force from Earth is weaker?

• The object will fall faster

• The object will float

• The object will fall slower

• The object will stay in place

Which of the following can be used to demonstrate Earth's gravitational force?

• A magnet

• A balloon

• A dropped stone

• A moving car

Explain why all objects on Earth fall in the same direction when dropped.

Describe what would happen if Earth's gravity were suddenly turned off.

What evidence supports the idea that Earth's gravity pulls objects down?

Why do we not feel the force of gravity as it pulls objects down?

If you dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time in a vacuum, what would happen?
