(Moon's gravity = 1/6 of Earth's gravity) - correct answer -70 N

Which of the following describes the cause and effect relationship between gravity and falling objects? - correct answer -Gravity causes objects to fall toward the center of Earth. Which object has greater acceleration when acted on by gravitational forces? A 2 kg apple, a 7 kg bowling ball, or a 20 kg rock? - correct answer -They all have the same acceleration When an object is falling at a constant velocity, this is called - correct answer -terminal velocity What is the acceleration caused by Earth's gravity? - correct answer -9.8 meters per second squared Both the sun and the moon exert gravitational force on the waters of Earth. This creates the tides we are familiar with. Look at the photograph below. Which of the following BEST explains why the moon has a greater effect on the tides than the sun? - correct answer -The moon is closer to Earth than the sun is. An orbit is a path that - correct answer -an object in space follows around another object due to gravitational forces. What is the cause and effect relationship between orbits and gravity? - correct answer -Gravity causes the effect of moving in an orbit. Why is the moon never pulled into the Earth despite gravitational forces that pull it toward Earth? - correct answer -The moon has enough of its own gravity to avoid being pulled to Earth. Which of the following is true of the strength of gravitational forces between two objects at a distance?

  • correct answer -Gravitational forces are stronger when objects are close and weaker when they are farther apart. The image below shows an orange asteroid midway between Earth and the moon and the gravitational field created by Earth and the moon. Based on this diagram, which of the following BEST describes the gravitational force that would be predominantly acting on the asteroid? - correct answer -a weak one toward Earth
