Questions and Answers

According to the passage, why may students misunderstand the effect of gravity between two objects?

  • They think that gravity decreases with the size of the planets.
  • They confuse the force of gravity from the Sun with the planet's gravity.
  • They believe gravity is solely determined by the size of the planets. (correct)
  • They misunderstand that gravity depends on the mass and distance between objects.

    • Based on the information provided, why might students mistakenly think that outer planets experience greater gravity from the Sun?

  • As outer planets have stronger gravitational fields.
  • Due to their large size compared to inner planets. (correct)
  • Because outer planets are closer to the Sun.
  • Since outer planets have denser atmospheres.

    • In what way does mass influence the gravitational forces between two objects, as stated in the passage?

  • Greater mass results in greater gravitational attraction. (correct)
  • Smaller mass leads to stronger gravitational pull.
  • Mass only influences distance between objects.
  • Mass has no effect on gravitational forces.

    • Why do students in this context confuse the force of gravity from the Sun with the planet's own gravitational pull?

    <p>Because they believe the planet's gravity acts only on itself.</p> Signup and view all the answers
