  • Q2
    Gravity is a force that every mass exerts on every other mass. When you jump up in the air, not only does the Earth exert a gravitational force on you, but you also exert a gravitational force on the Earth. You, of course, fall back down to the Earth. Which of the following explains why the Earth is not moving toward you when you jump up in the air?
    Earth's fixed orbit around the Sun keeps it from moving.
    You don't weigh enough to affect Earth's surface.
    Your mass is very small compared to Earth's mass.
    Earth exerts a gravitational force on itself.

  • Q4
    Penny says that dust particles in space cannot be pulled together by gravity because they have very little mass. Emma says as long as the dust particles have any mass at all, gravity can pull them together. Who has a better argument and why?
    Penny, because objects with only a little mass are not affected by gravity
    Emma, because objects with smaller mass have more gravity acting on them
    Emma, because any two objects exert a gravitational force on each other
    Penny, because dust particles in space are far from Earth so there is no gravity
