10/19The Law of Universal Gravitation page 53 / figure 4 Answers for the missing words in figure 4.  The gravitational force if the mass of at least one of the objects increases.  The gravitational force between objects as the objects move apart.  The gravitational force if the mass of at least one of the objects increases.  The gravitational force between objects as the objects move apart. increases decreases

Gravity vs Mass Add these definitions to Activity #20  Gravity is an attractive force (gravity) that exists between all objects that have mass.  Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  Gravity is an attractive force (gravity) that exists between all objects that have mass.  Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Weight vs Mass Add these descriptions to Activity #20  Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object. The amount of gravity determines weight of an object. This means that weight changes depending on where the object is.  Mass is not determined by where an object is but rather by the amount of matter in it. This means that the mass would be the same no matter where the object is.  Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object. The amount of gravity determines weight of an object.

Answers to the graphic organizer at the bottom of Activity #21 STATIC FRICTIONSLIDING FRICTIONFLUID FRICTION Prevents two surfaces from sliding past one another. Sliding friction opposes the motion of surfaces sliding past each other. Fluid friction is the friction between a surface and a fluid. A fluid is any material, such as water or air, that flows.
