100
An attractive force between 2 objects
What is gravity
100
According to Newton, and object at rest will...
What is, stay at rest
100
Which has more gravitational pull? See Miss Daigneault for picture
What is the larger, blue one.
100
If a robot went from Earth to Jupiter would the robot's mass change?
no
100
What would happen to the moon's orbit if there was no gravity?
it would continue in a straight path passed the earth
200
A push or a pull
What is force
200
According to Newton, an object in motion will...
What is, stay in motion
200
Which has a stronger gravitational pull? (see Miss Daigneault for picture)
The green suns (top two)
200
If a robot went form Earth to Jupiter, would the robot's weight change?
yes
200
What would happen to the moon's orbit it there was no inertia?
It would crash into the Earth
300
The amount of matter in an object
What is mass
300
(See Miss Daigneault for Clue) Are the two highlighters attracted to one another?
Yes
300
Is there gravity on Mars?
yes, everything has gravity
300
The tool do we use to measure mass?
What is triple beam balance or scale
300
What two forces combine to create a planet's or moon's orbit?
inertia and gravity
400
The tendancy of an object to resit a change in motion
What is inertia
400
According to Newton, what can cause an object to no longer be in motion or at rest
What is a force
400
The two factors that and effect the strength of gravity
What is distance and mass
400
Why are you "weightless" in space?
There is no gravity, therefore no weight
400
What would happen to the Earth's orbit it there was no gravity?
The Earth would move in a straight line forever
500
The force of gravity on an object
What is weight
500
This law states that every object attracts every other object
What is the Law of Universal Gravitation
500
Why are you not affected by Jupiter's gravitational pull?
We are too far away from Jupiter
500
Explain the difference between Mass and Weight
Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object, while weight is the force of gravity pushing down on that mass
500
What would happen to the Earth's orbit it there was no inertia?
The Earth would be pulled into the sun
