45s - Q9
Which statement best describes Einstein's theory of gravity?
gravity is present throughout the universe
gravity is an attraction force that pulls all objects to the ground
a great mass will create a dimple in space-time and draw other objects with smaller mass close by to it
objects with large masses will draw objects with smaller masses to it in space
120s - Q10
This image illustrations what principle of Newton's theory of gravity?
The more an object weighs the more gravitational pull it will have
The smaller the size of an object the less gravitational pull it will have
The smaller the mass of an object the more gravitational pull it will have
The larger the mass of an object the more gravitational pull it will have
120s - Q11
This graphic illustrates what principle of Newton's theory of gravity?
Mass 1 has more gravitational pull than Mass 2 because of their distance
Two masses will push away from each other because of gravity
The greater the distance between two masses, the less gravitational pull they will have
Mass 1 and Mass 2 have the same gravitation because they are the same size
120s - Q12
Which statement best explains why the moon orbits the Earth?
The moon is a man-made satellite, and all man-made satellites orbit the Earth.
Although the Sun's gravity is stronger, because the moon is a closer to the Earth's gravity pulls it into orbit
The Earth blocks the orbital path of the moon as it travels around the Sun
The moon is not a planet because it is too small, so it orbits the Earth
120s - Q13
Which statement best explains why Jupiter has the most moons of the planets in our solar system?
Jupiter is closest to the asteroid belt and the asteroid belt blocks the Sun's gravitational pull
Jupiter has such a great mass that objects close to it, like moons, get pulled into its gravity
Jupiter is so far away from the Sun that it is not affected by the Sun's gravity
120s - Q14
Study the chart. Which statement is most accurate based on the chart's data?
All of the planets have some sort of atmosphere
Mars is the only planet with carbon dioxide as a main compound of its atmosphere
The outer planets have the most similar atmosphere
Most planets have methane in the atmosphere
120s - Q15
List the planets in order based on their distance from the sun.
