Gravity

Orbit

the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon

Multiple Choice

What causes orbiting?

acceleration and distance

gravity and forward motion

free fall and gravity

a push and a pull

Multiple Choice

The circular motion of one object around another object in space is

rotation

inertia

gravity

revolution

Multiple Choice

Why do astronauts bounce and appear to float on the moon as they walk?

There is no gravity on the moon

Gravity is weaker on the moon

Gravity is stronger on the moon

None of these

Gravity is weaker on the moon

Multiple Choice

. An object's orbital path is a result of the balance between

gravity and mass

gravity and inertia

mass and distance

mass and inertia

Multiple Choice

What would happen to an object in orbit without gravity pulling down?

It would crash into the object it is orbiting.

It would continue to orbit

it would stop its motion

it would fly off into space

It would fly off in space

Without gravity pulling it down the planet would continue in it's forward motion (ineria)

Multiple Choice

An astronaut weighs _______________ on the moon than on Earth

less

double

Multiple Choice

An astronaut's mass on the Moon and on Earth are ____________________.

the same

different

Multiple Choice

The force of gravity on an object is the object's

weight

force

mass

inertia

Multiple Choice

Which property of an object will be different on the Moon than on Earth?

composition

mass

weight

shape

Weight depends on gravity

So and objects weight can change, but its mass will stay the same.

Multiple Choice

What happens to gravitational force when the distance between objects increases?

it gets weaker

it gets stronger

it gradually disappears

nothing

Multiple Choice

Which of these would affect the strength of gravity between the Earth and the Sun?

The tilt of the Earth's axis

The amount of energy the Earth receives from the Sun

The movement of the magma inside of Earth

The distance between the Earth and the Sun

Multiple Choice

The pull of gravity on you would be _________________ on the moon.

less

the same

Multiple Choice

As the masses of two objects increase, the gravitational force between them

stays the same

decreases

increases

Multiple Choice

Two objects will have the greatest gravitational attraction when they are

large and far apart.

small and close together

large and close together.

small and far apart.

Multiple Choice

Earth's gravity pulls everything towards the ________________.

north

south

center

all of these

Multiple Choice

Why don't people on Earth get pulled into the Sun?

because we can't fly

because the Earth is smaller than the sun

because we are closer to the Earth than the sun

because the sun is larger than the earth

Multiple Choice

If an object is placed halfway between the Earth and the Moon, the object will fall towards the

Earth

Moon

Sun

none of these

Multiple Choice

Who developed the Law of Universal Gravitation?

Gossett

Einstein

Newton

Galileo

Multiple Choice

Anything that has _______________ has a gravitational pull.

weight

mass

circular shape

magnetism

Multiple Choice

If two planets moved three times further apart, their force of attraction would

increase

decrease

stay the same

Multiple Choice

Why do a hammer and a feather fall at different rates on Earth?

The hammer has more mass, so it falls faster.

The feather is lighter, so it falls slower

Air friction has a greater effect on the hammer

Air friction has a greater effect on the feather.

Multiple Choice

All objects fall at the same rate when there is no air or atmosphere.

True

False

Multiple Choice

Gravity is defined as

a push or a pull

a force of attraction

a force that opposes motion

the amount of mass an object has
