Gravity & Weight Quiz

What is weight in physics?

• A measure of mass

• A force

• A unit of energy

• A type of speed

What is gravity?

• A force that attracts objects towards each other

• A type of electromagnetic radiation

• A chemical reaction

• A form of energy

Gravity is an attraction force. True or False?

• True

• False

Which factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?

• Mass of the objects and distance between them

• Temperature and pressure

• Color and texture

• Speed and velocity

What is your WEIGHT (FORCE) on Earth? It is the acceleration of gravity pushing down on your mass. So what is your mass?

• Your weight on Earth is the force due to gravity acting on your mass.

• Your mass is the amount of matter in your body, measured in kilograms.

• Your weight is the same as your mass on Earth.

• Your mass is the force exerted by gravity on your body.

What is the rounded value of the acceleration of gravity?

• 9.8 m/s²

• 10 m/s²

• 9 m/s²

• 11 m/s²

What happens to your mass if you change your location?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It doubles

The difference between mass and weight is:

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity on an object.

• Mass is measured in newtons, while weight is measured in kilograms.

• Mass changes with location, while weight remains constant.

• Mass and weight are the same and can be used interchangeably.

• mass
• weight
• gravity
• pounds
