Answers
1
How long does it take for earth to make 1 rotation on its axis? Par 7
about 48 hours
about 365 days
about 24 hours
a whole summer
2
How does mass affect gravitational pull? Par 2
more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull
less mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull
mass has no effect
mass divided by volume equals gravity
3
The moon revolves around the sun because it is much closer to the sun than the earth. Par 4
False
True
4
From where did Isaac Newton develop one of his most important ideas? Par 1
from watching an apple fall from a tree
from his university studies
from a scientist mentor of his
from a book
5
What has to be balanced to maintain an objects orbital path? Par 6
the inner planets gravitational pull
the gravitational pull of the earth and moon
the object's forward motion and the Sun's gravitational pull
the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth
6
What is one way to define revolution or revolve? Par 3
following a figure eight path
spin on an axis
following an orbit around a more massive object
following a path in no certain direction
7
What is an asteroid? Par 5
a moon rock
large pieces of rock that revolve around the sun
small pieces of rock that revolve around the sun
a cloud of gas and dust
8
How does distance affect gravitational pull? Par 2
distance divided by time equals gravitational pull
as distance decreases gravitational pull increases
as distance increases gravitational pull decreases
distance does not affect gravitational pull
9
How long does it take Earth to make one revolution around the sun? Par 7
1 light year
24 hours
1 full season
365 days
10
What is a meteoroid? Par 5
smaller pieces of rock that revolve around the sun
clouds of dust and gas
a moon rock
large pieces of rock that revolve around the sun
11
What is the definition of gravity? Par 2
a force of attraction between 2 or more objects with mass
a force of relative motion
a force of falling down
a force of repelling between 2 or more objects with mass
12
Planets, comets, meteoroids, and asteroids revolve around the sun. Par 5
False
True
13
What object in our solar system has the most gravitational pull? Par 3
the moon
the sun
the Earth
Jupiter
14
What is a definition of rotation? Par 7
a spin with no particular path
a spin around a center
moving around another object
a figure eight motion
15
What was Isaac Newton's answer to which force holds the planets in orbit around the sun? Par 1
law of universal gravitation
law of falling down
law of downward force
law of orbit force
16
What is a meteoroid that hits earth's crust called? You must know this!!! Meteo-RITE there!!!!
An asteroid
A meteor
