Mass & Weight

Mass and Mass

an object with __________ attracts any other object with ___________

mass, weight

any given object will have the same ______ on Earth and on the Moon, but that objects ________ on the Moon will be only 16% of the weight as measured on Earth

Mass, mass

This force of gravity on an object on a planets surface depends on the objects _______ an the _______ of the planet

Sun

All planets in orbit around the _________ are held in place by gravity

More

Does Jupiter have more or less gravity than Earth?

Pull

Does gravity push or pull?

mass, size

Each planet has a different _____ and a different _______

kilograms and grams

Mass is measured in these units in the metric system

Less

The Moon is smaller, so it has ______ gravity than the Earth.

Center, Weaker

The farther the object is from the ______ of the planet, the _________ the pull between the planet and the object

Distance

The force of gravity also depends on the _________ of an object from the center of the planet to its surfact

Mass, Distance

The strength of that attraction depends on the _________ of each object and their __________ from each other

Scale

We use a _______ to measure our weight.

Gravity

Weight on a planets surface is a measure of the pull of __________ between an object and the planet on which it is located

Down

What direction does gravity pull towards?

They hit the same time

What happened to the feather and hammer when dropped?

Gravity

What makes the earth go around the sun?

Ball

What shape does the pull of gravity make the Earth and all the planets into?

Same

Will gravity always be the same or different depending on where you go?

Down

With gravity things fall ________

Mass will be the SAME

if you take an object to the Moon or Mars

Weight

is a measure of the FORCE of GRAVITY on an OBJECT

Newtons

is how WEIGHT is measured in the METRIC SYSTEM

Mass

is related to the amount of matter (or STUFF) in an object regardless of how much SPACE the object takes up.

Spring Scale

is the tool we use to measure the strength of the GRAVITATIONAL PULL on the MASS of an object

The Weight

of an object changes from Planet to Planet
