- Q9Which of these is NOT true about weight?It is always the same as mass, regardless of gravity.It is affected by an object's mass and the force of gravity.It is a measurement of how heavy an object is.It is commonly measured in pounds.120s
- Q10Which of these would best describe why the weight of an object on the sun would be more that the weight of the same object on any of the planets in our solar system?An objects mass on the sun is greater than anywhere else in the solar system.The pull of gravity by the sun is less than all of the other planets.The pull of gravity by the sun is greater than all of the other planets.An object's mass on the sun is less than anywhere in the solar system.120s
- Q11Which statement is true about your mass?You would have less mass on the moon.You would have less mass on the Earth.You would have the same mass on the Earth and moon.You would have more mass on the Earth.120s
- Q12Astronauts appear weightless while working in the International Space Station becausethey have gravitational attractions to the sun and moon.they have very little mass when in outer space.they are in a state of free fall.there isn't any gravity in outer space.120s
