GRADE 6 - 4TH QUARTER

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on

• Mass and Matter

• Mass and Weight

• Mass and Distance

• Mass and Strength

The gravitational force between two objects changes with the distance between the two objects

• True

• False

An object with more mass will exert greater gravitational force than an object with lesser mass.

• True

• False

As the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity between them decreases.

• True

• False

The variables that affect the gravitational interaction between two objects are:

• masses and directions of motions of the objects.

• masses and speeds of the objects.

• masses and distances between the objects.

• distance between and speeds of the objects.

As a space ship of constant mass moves farther away from Earth, the strength of the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the space craft

• stays the same.

• increases.

• there is not enough information to answer.

• decreases

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object,

• Gravity

• Force

• Attractive

• Mass

Which of the following data would support the claim that the gravitational force between objects depends on mass?

• An object's weight can change depending on where it is on Earth.

• Further away a planet is from the sun the smaller the gravitational force.

• Gravitational force is stronger on more massive planets.

• A rocket can escape Earth's gravity by traveling at high speed.

A measure of how much matter is present in a substance

• Attractive

• Mass

• Force

• Gravity

Mass and weight are the same thing.

• True

• False
