  • Why doesn't the Feather and the ball fall at the same time on Earth?
    Because air resistance hold the feather movement
  • The strength of gravity on a planet is 5 N/kg. Calculate the weight of an 800 kg spacecraft on that planet.
    4000 N
  • What is the name of the force holding us to the Earth?
    Gravity
  • The amount of stuff that made something
    Mass
  • [True or False] If you go to the Moon, your mass will be less than on Earth.
    False
  • A television camera has a weight of 20 N on the Moon. Calculate its mass of the camera if the gravitational force on moon is 2 N/kg
    10 kg
  • What effect does gravity have on the particles in a nebula?
    It pulls them together
  • [True or False] The gravitational force on Earth is 10 N/kg
    True
  • Name the Giant Gasses planets in order.
    Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
  • [True or False] If you go to the Moon, your weight will be less than on Earth
    True
  • [True or False] The gravitational force on moon is bigger than on Earth
    False
  • What causes pressure inside a nebula?
    particles bumping into each other
  • If the planets orbit the Sun, where do the Sun along with the entire solar system orbit?
    Galaxy or Milky way Galaxy
  • [True or False] When the object from Earth move to Moon, the weight of the object will change
    True
  • What is the formula introduced by Sir Isaac Newton to get the weight of an object?
    W = m x g
  • Which two forces cause the gas and dust in nebulas to form solar systems?
    Gravity and Pressure
  • Who discovered gravity?
    Isaac Newton
  • solar nebula a rotating cloud of gas and dust from which the sun and planets formed. What happened to the solar nebula?
    It became the solar system.
  • [True or False] When the object from Earth move to Moon, the mass of the object will change
    False
  • How does high pressure probably affect the size of a nebula?
    It makes the nebula expand, or get bigger.
  • The force exerted on the body by gravity.
    Weight
  • What would happen without Gravity?
    People (and everything else on Earth) could just float away into space.
  • The strength of gravity on a planet is 10 N/kg. Calculate the weight of a 900 kg airplane on Earth.
    9000 N
