This document discusses factors that determine the strength of gravitational pull between objects. It states that the two factors are mass and distance, and that greater mass or smaller distance results in stronger gravitational pull. Several questions are then asked about how changes in mass or distance of planets would affect their gravitational pull with the Sun. The answers provided are that gravitational pull decreases if distance increases, increases if distance decreases, and increases as mass increases.

pull with the Sun? b 4) If Planet A moves further away from the Sun, will gravity increase or decrease between Planet A and the Sun? decrease 5) If Planet B moves closer to the Sun, will gravity increase between Planet B or decrease? increase
6) Which scenario, A or B, shows the
strongest gravitational pull between objects?
The scenario of a shows the strongest
gravitational pull
7) Which system, A or B, appears to
have the strongest gravitational pull? b 8) As mass increases, what happens to gravitational force?
9) Which scenario shows the higher
gravitational force?
10) More mass equals: 11) More distance equals:
less gravity less gravity
less distance less distance more gravity more gravity more distance more distance
12) Less mass equals: 13) Less distance equals:
less gravity less gravity
less distance less distance more gravity more gravity more distance more distance
