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