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
