Questions 18

Answers

1
How does gravity affect tides?
No effect on tides
Makes tides unpredictable
Only affects rivers
Causes high and low tides
2
How does distance affect gravity?
Decreases force
No effect
Increases force
Only affects mass
3
What is the value of G?
6.674 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2
1.6 x 10^-19
9.81 m/s^2
3.14
4
What is the formula for gravitational force?
F = m1*m2*r
F = m1-m2/r^2
F = m1+m2/r
F = m1*m2/r^2
5
What is the significance of Newton's law?
Only applies to Earth
Only for small masses
Explains universal attraction
No significance
6
What does mass do to gravity?
Weakens it
Has no effect
Only affects distance
Strengthens it
7
What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?
Inversely proportional
Directly proportional
Only affects distance
No relationship
8
What does gravitational force act on?
All objects with mass
Only large objects
Only Earth
Only small objects
9
What does G represent?
Mass of Earth
Distance measure
Gravity's speed
Gravitational constant
10
What is the inverse square law?
Force decreases with distance
Force increases with distance
Only applies to Earth
Force is constant
11
What happens when distance triples?
No change
Force becomes 1/9
Force becomes 1/3
Force doubles
12
What does gravity keep in orbit?
Nothing at all
Only moons
Only planets
Stars and planets
13
What does gravitational force depend on?
Mass and distance
Temperature and pressure
Shape and speed

Niels Bohr
Galileo Galilei
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein
16
What does gravity do?
Makes us float
Keeps us grounded
Pulls us apart
Only affects planets
17
What is the effect of doubling the distance?
No change
Force becomes 1/2
Force becomes 1/4
Force doubles
18
What is a gravitational field?
Region of gravitational influence
A vacuum space
Only around Earth
Area of no gravity
