A model shows that the moon has grown twice its size, yet it remains in the same place. explain how this would impact the gravity between Earth and moon.
an increase in mass of an object would cause an increase in gravity between the two objects
an increase in mass of an object would cause a decrease in gravity between the two objects
an increase in mass of an object would nothing to change between the gravity of the two objects
decrease in mass of an object would cause an increase in gravity between the two objects
An increase in mass of an object would cause an increase in gravity between the two objects. Therefore, if the moon has grown twice its size, it would also experience an increase in mass. As a result, the gravity between Earth and the moon would also increase.
how does distance affect gravity?
gravity increases with increasing distance
gravity increases with decreasing distance
gravity Remains the Same regardless of the distance gravity
is 0
Gravity decreases with increasing distance. In other words, as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.
What is a difference between week 1 and week 3 of the moon’s cycle?
Week 1 starts with a quarter moon, while week 3 starts with a full moon.
Week 1 starts with a full moon, while week 3 starts with a new moon.
Week 1 starts with a new moon, while week 3 starts with a full moon.
Week 1 starts with a new moon, while week 3 starts with a quarter moon.
Week 1 starts with a new moon, while week 3 starts with a full moon.
The Northern and Southern Hemispheres face the sun evenly. What do the hemispheres experience at that time?
winter
an equinox
summer
a solstice
At the time when the Northern and Southern Hemispheres face the sun evenly, it is an equinox.
While the Earth is revolving around the sun, less direct sunlight is reaching the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere. What season is it in the Northern Hemisphere?
1 point
spring
winter
summer
autumn
If less direct sunlight is reaching the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere, it would be winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
A student creates a diagram comparing the sizes of objects in the solar system. Which two objects are often similar in size?
1 point
asteroids and comets
moons and meteors
comets and planets
planets and meteors
