Unit 5 Review
1. All of the terms listed are related to
force except• Weight: mass with the force of gravity
•
Triple beam balance: measuring mass *
• Spring scale: A spring balance measures the
weight of an object
• Newton: unit used when measuring force
2. Gravity is-• Weight: the force on the object due to gravity
• Inertia: the resistance of any physical object to
any change in its state of motion
• Force: push or pull*
• Direction: north, south, east, west
3. Which is responsible for the planets
staying in their orbit?
• Gravitational force between the planets and
the sun *
• Empty space between the stars
• Weight of the planets
• Density of the planets
4. Venus has less mass than Earth. If a
50-gram object is taken from Earth to
Venus, then-•
•
•
•
The object’s mass will be more than 50 grams
The object’s mass will be less than 50 grams
The object’s weight will be more
The object’s weight will be less *
**mass does not take gravity into account**
*weight will change depending on the amount
of gravity*
Greater mass of planet=greater gravitational force
5. As the distance between two
objects increases, the gravitational
attraction between the two objects-• Remains the same
• Increases
• Decreases *
• Becomes zero
6. An object is placed at each location
in the table. At which location does
the object have the greatest weight?

•The length of a revolution increases as the orbital speed decreases *
•The length of a rotation decreases as the length of the revolution decreases
•The orbital speed increases as the distance from the sun increases
•The approximate length of the rotation increases as the distance from the sun
increases.
